The BC-549 Ironman Body Composition Monitor from Tanita, the Body Fat Experts. This highly accurate FDA cleared body composition monitor not only measures weight and body fat, it also tells you your muscle mass, body water %, basal metabolic rate (BMR), metabolic age, bone mass, visceral fat and rates your physique! The muscle mass feature indicates the weight of muscle in the body. The Body Water % is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a percentage of total weight. The BMR is the daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when resting (including sleeping) to function effectively. The Metabolic Age compares your BMR to the average age associated with that level of metabolism. The Bone Mass is the weight of your bone in your body. The Visceral Fat is the fat in the abdominal cavity (stomach), surrounding the vital organs. The Physique Rating is a rating of your body type; 1-9.

The Tanita BC549 is one of the most comprehensive body monitors on the market today that's designed for home use. Using advanced Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology that was previously available only to medical professionals, health clubs and professional athletes, you now have the ability to monitor your body and the effects of your diet and fitness routines, comfortably and affordably in the convenience of your own home.  The BC-549 uses transparent electrode technology on the surface of the tempered glass.  This innovation adds to the aesthetic beauty of the design while providing the same high level of accuracy.  Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BC-549 is intended for use by persons up to 330 pounds and is backed by Tanita's 3-year warranty.

Note: Pregnant women should not use this monitor, and if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device, you should not use the body composition reading feature.
