Beverly,

I have had a Tanita for a few months and threw out the literature. In the
evenings, I am like 22 percent body fat and in the mornings I am closer to
25. I know hydration makes a difference but in what way? Does it give an
artificial high or low number?

I no longer have any litature for mine either. IIRC Tanita recommends you
measure the BF% in the evenings. My guess would be if you're properly
hydrated you'll get a more accurate reading. That said, I always measure
mine in the morning when I weigh. At least it's consistent and I can
measure the progress.

I am thinking of getting a BMI scale but there are so many choices out
there. Can anybody recommend a good brand? I leave the determination
of
"good" to your value system.

Are you referring to the body fat scales? I've had a Tanita for years
and
haven't had one problem with it.
