5 Measuring Weight, Body Fat, Body Water, Muscle Percentage, Bone Mass, BMI, Basal Metabolic Rate, and Active Metabolic Rate
Ensure your user data is entered in the ‘beurer HealthCoach’ app for accurate measurements.
- Step onto the scale with bare feet. Stand still with your weight evenly distributed across both sensors. Ensure your feet, legs, calves, or thighs do not touch each other.
- The scale will first display your weight. If you are barefoot, BIA* diagnostics will follow.
- If a user is allocated in the app, their user ID will be displayed in the bottom left corner (e.g., “TOM”).
The following values may appear:
- 1. Weight (e.g., in lb) with BMI
- 2. Body fat percentage (BF in %)
- 3. Body water percentage (in %)
- 4. Muscle percentage (in %)
- 5. Bone mass (e.g., in lb)
- 6. Basal metabolic rate (BMR in kcal)
- 7. Active metabolic rate (AMR in kcal)
Refer to the instruction manual for guidance on interpreting your results.
The scale automatically assigns a measurement to the user whose most recently saved weight is within 2kg (4lb) and 2% of their body fat. If the user is not recognized, only the weight is shown, and “---” appears on the LCD display. In such cases, you can assign the unknown measurement in the app or repeat the user assignment process. Refer to the instruction manual for detailed instructions.
* BIA: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, a method that calculates body composition using a harmless, unnoticeable electric current.

- Stand still with your weight distributed equally on both feet.
- Your weight will be displayed after a few seconds. If a stored user is recognized, their initials and corresponding BMI, BMR, and AMR will also be displayed.
