Frequently asked questions
How accurate is body fat percentage measurement?
Accuracy depends on your measurement method. DEXA scans are most accurate, while bioelectrical scales can vary by 3-5%. Consistency in measurement method matters most.
What's a healthy rate of body fat loss?
Aim for 1-2% body fat loss per month. Faster loss may indicate muscle loss alongside fat, which isn't ideal for long-term health.
Can I lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously?
Yes, body recomposition is possible, especially for beginners or those returning to fitness. It requires proper nutrition, strength training, and adequate protein intake.
