Body Composition 101

InBody Accordion Summary

Body composition breaks down your body into fat, muscle, bone, and water. Unlike weight or BMI, it helps you understand your actual health status by measuring fat mass and lean mass separately.

Two people can weigh the same but have completely different body fat and muscle percentages. Weight alone can’t show whether changes are due to fat loss or muscle loss.

Fat Mass: Essential and storage fat
Lean Body Mass: Muscle, bones, organs, water
Total Body Water: Inside and outside your cells
BMR: Calories your body burns at rest

Tracking body composition helps you:

See fat loss vs. muscle gain
Customize diet and workouts
Monitor risk for health conditions

Common methods include skinfold calipers, hydrostatic weighing, DEXA, and bioelectrical impedance (used by InBody). InBody is fast, non-invasive, and more accurate than home scales.

Set Your Daily Nutritional Goals

Your InBody scan results provide a valuable number: your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)—the amount of energy your body uses at rest. You’ll use this number to calculate your daily calorie (TDEE) and protein goals, then build healthy habits that support your long-term success. This section includes calculators, tracking tools, and real-world tips to help you fuel your body, stay consistent, and avoid common mistakes.

🎯 Set Your Calorie Goal

Your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the number of calories your body burns in a day. Once you know it, you can adjust your intake depending on your goals:

To lose 0.5 lb/week: Subtract 250 calories from your TDEE
To lose 1 lb/week: Subtract 500 calories
To gain 0.5 lb/week: Add 250 calories
To gain 1 lb/week: Add 500 calories

Keep in mind: healthy changes take time. Start with small adjustments and track your progress to see what works for your body.

🥩 Why Your Daily Protein Target Matters

Protein is essential for more than just muscle — it supports fat loss, strength, recovery, and overall health.

Improves body composition: Protein helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, which supports a more toned, fit appearance while reducing fat.
Prevents “skinny fat”: Without enough protein, you may lose muscle instead of fat, leading to a soft or flabby look despite normal weight.
Boosts metabolism: More lean muscle means a higher Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), so you burn more calories even at rest.
Keeps you full longer: Protein curbs appetite better than carbs or fat, helping you eat fewer calories without feeling deprived.
Supports healing & immunity: It plays a key role in tissue repair, immune function, and daily body processes.

You don’t need massive amounts — just enough. Use the protein calculator to find your target range.

Popular Tracking Tools

Tracking your food intake helps you build awareness, spot patterns, and stay accountable to your goals. Whether you’re aiming to lose fat, build muscle, or maintain progress, logging your meals can help you understand how your habits line up with your calorie and protein goals.

You don’t need to track forever—just long enough to build a clear picture and develop smarter habits.
