As muscle cells have a similar bio-electric resistance to fat cells the scales could interpret muscles as fat. This problem only occurs if the muscle mass is large; if a person has a normal range of muscles the scales do not measure this as fat. In this mode the actual body fat values are measured using a different mathematical formula.
