What I'm trying to tell you is that it doesn't know anything about that.  It measures resistance to an electrical signal.  It would measure the "bodyfat" of a pumpkin if you put it on there.  It has an algorithm that knows the standard resistances for varying bodyfat levels.  There is probably a variable in that algorithm that changes the coefficients a bit for the "athlete" setting vs the "normal" setting.  It likely takes a resistance reading on your body, looks up that resistance in a hash table, and spits out a value.  You could probably do the same thing with a DMM if you had the algorithm it uses.

I discovered the wonders of fruit smoothies this week.

You want to make that smoothie really really good?  Add greens.  Spinach is my favorite, but a good leafy lettuce is good too (just not iceberg, that would be a waste).  Go 3/4 fruit and 1/4 spinach.  It will look like a crazy amount of spinach to put in, but wait till you taste it.  So.  Freaking.  Good. 

I'm dead serious.  Try it.  You won't go back.  And you have the added benefit of getting a really large portion of greens in your diet which, for most Americans, is a pretty big deal.

The seeds are the healhtiest part. If you ate a whole Pomegranate worth, you get more than you entire daily intake of fiber.

Any time you just juice a fruit, you throw away the healthiest parts. That's where my problem was - I hate the texture of most fruits. Processing them just makes it a tasty milkshake like consistency. i can handle that,

You know, I thought about that. We love baby spinach. The fresh leaf stuff is great. Most people hate spinach because they think of the canned or frozen stuff that stinks and tastes like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. most people never even know that fresh spinach has no taste whatsoever. We keep a bag in the fridge pretty much all the time.

With all that spinach you won't need p90x!
