Question

Four months ago you completed a BodPod body composition assessment on an individual weighing 155 pounds and recorded their body fat as 27% (+/-2%). They have now returned for a recheck at a weight of 153 lbs. Using the same BodPod procedures you estimate their current %BF is 25 (+/-2%). Which of the following is the most accurate assessment of this situation? Weight is 2 pounds lower. The lower percent Body Fat proves that they have lost at least 2# of body fat. The small change in body fat likely indicates that they lost muscle as well as fat. Probably no change in body comp, because results of test two are within test1 SEE for Bod Pod The 2% decrease in body fat and 2 pound weight loss means that they lost 3# of body fat and gained 1 pound of muscle mass.

Explanation / Answer

Option 4 is the most accurate assessment as muscle being more denser than fat tends to be heavier hence a very small decrease in the body weight ( 2pounds).
