FAT VS MUSCLE MASS The other day I shared with you video, where I was talking about InBody machine and my experiment with it. In one day I made 3 different tests on InBody machine, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. My weight didn’t fluctuate much throughout the day, my fat - muscle mass were fluctuating considerably. In one day my fat/muscle mass went up and down as much as 1 kg! This made me investigate why InBody machine is not being accurate. InBody machine is based on bioelectric impedance, BIA. BIA equipment sends a small and safe electric current through the body, measuring the resistance. The current faces more resistance passing through body fat than it does passing through lean body mass and water. Equations are used to estimate body fat percentage and fat-free mass. *Hu F. Measurements of Adiposity and Body Composition. In: Hu F, ed. Obesity Epidemiology. New York City: Oxford University Press, 2008 The ratio of body water to fat may be change during illness, dehydration or weight loss, decreasing accuracy. Tips on how to get the results more accurate: try to do InBody tests at the same time of the day. If you made first test in the morning, continue doing them in the morning. If it was in the afternoon, do them in the afternoon. Hydrate yourself before taking the test, and of course keep exercising and eating healthy. #inbody #inbodymachine #fatmass #musclemass #onlinefitnesscoach https://www.instagram.com/p/COBR6Gqhhhk/?igshid=1mva0071l0v0o
