Use the scales without clothes on if possible. 
Th

ments. Always stand on the scales without 
shoes and socks on. Otherwise it is not pos-

between measurements taken at diff erent 
times of the day. Th

  erefore you should make 

sure to carry out measurements …

Ú

pared. Diff ering measurement values could 
be related to diff ering conditions for measure-
ment and not to actual changes.
Th

  e most accurate and realistic measurement 

values can be obtained in the early evening. 
Furthermore you should always carry out 
measurement before mealtimes.

values and the actual values can be more like-
