FAQ
- Why so different from the scale?
- Tape vs BIA vs DEXA disagree. Use one method and repeat it the same way.
- Where do I measure waist?
- Navy-style is typically at the navel, tape snug, not crushing.
- Medical use?
- No. It is a rough US Navy formula for curiosity and tracking.
- Is this free?
- Yes. Pulse stays free because of advertising. Ads may appear when you copy, download, or run the main action.
