I use a physician's balance beam scale. It does nothing fancy,

how
much precision do you need? Your weight varies all day long with
fluid
intake and output, meals, exercise, etc. Weighing to the ounce
or
gram
is just silly. You're insisting on decimal points for a weight
that
varies slowly all day and night long. Which one is your real
weight?

Also, there's no point in having precision that goes beyond the
device's
accuracy.

Thats not right when you are using the change in weight.

It doesnt matter what you weigh, what matters is how
the weight changes between weighing with body weight.


Yeah, down to the gram according to you, so you can track how much
weight you've gained or lost after each meal. You really are the
mayor of Stupidville.

Agreed, weight can vary wildly over the course of even just one
day.
Lots of things like food intake/fluids/sweating/visits to the
loo/exercise/sleep etc.
Even state of your metabolism (not feeling well etc) can affect the
result.
Most peoples weight can vary naturally by a pound or so a week.
So going by the gram etc is pointless.


Bingo and +1


We'll see...

And the vast majority of bathroom scale makers apparently agree,
because I have yet to see one that measures down to the gram.


The only one who ever said anything about down to the gram was
some gutless terminal ****wit desperately cowering behind 'Trader 4'


That's yet another lie. You're the moron that first used the word "gram"
in this discussion.


I never ever did, you silly little pathological liar. And since all you can
do
is lie thru your ****ing teeth, here goes the chain on all your bare faced
lies.
