Question: How is Fat Mass tracked between data points?

[nickpt]

I get caliper body composition testing approx every 3 months to get more accurate data about mass distribution. I was wondering if the sudden change in body fat percentage when logged - eg from 20% to 15% after 3 months - would result in a sudden 'step' down in my logged data, or if there was a way to interpolate / gradient between two data readings to get a better sense of how composition changed over time.

Unless you are using a "smart" scale that automatically logs fat %, body fat only has a value when you enter it, so you would just have a value every 3 months with no values in between.

Thanks @JohnnyRow, it not the answer I was hoping for... looks like its time to dust off the ole abacus and manually divide mass and time across weigh ins 🧐😩
