Just a quick question regarding my new Aria Air scale. I was finally able to get it to sync with my phone and my Fitbit app. The weight comes through just fine but the body fat percentage does not populate in the body fat% field on the app. 

 

The scale was touted as being able to calculate this, and to determine the percentages with the help of the app. I had to manually figure out my body fat percentage and add it to my app. What is the procedure for having this information filled in automatically by the scale? Have I missed a setup step in either the app or the scale? 

 

Thanks!

@ChristienCabani   You are confusing BMI and percent body fat.  BMI is calculated and is a relationship between height and weight.  Percent body fat measurements need specific hardware in the scale.  The Aria Air doesn't have this hardware.  It reports your BMI in the Fitbit app.

 

Even Fitbit moderators have been known to confuse the two.  😉
