It has some steel thumb plates that have some voodoo effect in what I believe is just predominately calculated by the in formation questions being filled out. There is a BMI site I no longer have the link to but it is also not hard to use and is free. As a weight watcher I have heard a lot about muscle weighing more than fat as an excuse as to no weight loss. Please don’t buy into it you have to get pretty gosh darn fit for that to become a factor. Muscle and fat weigh they same, as to say a pound is still a pound. You get in the low twenty’s in your BMI it may then start to effect your weight, but until then exorcise will help you lose not gain. Calorie intake is another matter. I thingk you have to train for gain to acomplish it. it isnt acidental. Again talking out my ear so, Flame away.
