Maintaining your ideal body weight is imperative for pro cyclists like Lance Armstrong. If you want to control your weight, take a tip from Lance and just step on your scale every day.

And ideally use body composition scales, so that you have other key measurments such as body fat%.

What other measurments can you take?

BMI – not so reliable for athletes as have more muscle than average

Resting and Active Metabolic Rate – how many calories do you burn at rest and how many based on the level of exercise.
