A better guide to health: The current way to determine a healthy or desirable weight is outdated. The use of a weight scales to measure pounds or a BMI calculator leaves a gap in knowledge. Looking at pounds only tells us how much the earth is pulling on the human body, it tells us nothing about how much muscle, bone, and fat a person has. It does not tell us what type of changes should be made in the diet for sustainable fat loss and proper body composition maintenance.
The ratio between Muscle-Bone-Fat provides greater insight to health. If I take two people both weighing 200 pounds, one with an imbalance of fat and the other with a desirable muscle to fat ratio the health risks, appearance, and function are very different.
A measure of success: You put all the hard work into your diet and exercise but how do you know if it is resulting in the type of loses or gains you want. You might be pumping the iron and eating what you think should support muscle growth or you might think you are doing the right actions to obtain your desired body fat percentage, but how do you know ? By completing a body composition analysis, you can determine your true muscle and fat percentage and then track your changes to determine if your plan is equating to the results you want.
