Today, I want to share with you 3 common body fat tests & what they entail:

1.  In Body Scan = “Bioelectrical” field assessment

2.  Hydrostatic Test = “Underwater” body fat assessment

3.  DEXA = “Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry”

Not all body fat tests are created equal; however, I do believe that if you choose one to go with, then STICK with that one

.

When repeating a test like this, it’s super important to to literally REPLICATE the testing protocol as exact as possible

.

Some considerations for REPLICATION to emphasize are:

• Time of day

• With/without clothing (i.e. swimming suit)

• Limit eating 3 hours prior to testing

• Working out prior or after testing

• Etc.
