When looking to achieve weight loss, many people rely on BMI (Body Mass Index) as a measure of progress. However, body composition analysis is far superior to BMI as it takes into account more than just weight and height.

Unlike BMI, which only measures weight relative to height, body composition analysis looks at the amount of fat, muscle, bone and water weight in a person’s body. This helps to provide more accurate information about health and weight loss goals. For example, it can be used to determine whether weight change is caused by fat loss or by changes in body composition such as increased muscle mass due to resistance training.

Body composition analysis also provides a more detailed view of weight change over time than BMI. It can show changes in weight that are not reflected in BMI, such as muscle mass gained through exercise or weight lost due to dehydration. This helps people to make informed decisions about their weight and health goals by understanding composition trends rather than just weight alone. Body composition analysis is suitable for individuals of all weights and sizes, allowing them to measure their progress accurately and make more meaningful lifestyle changes.
