How Often Should You Get a Body Composition Scan? Expert Guidelines

Optimal Timing for Scans

  • Fat Loss/Muscle Gain: Every 4–6 weeks (International Journal of Sports Nutrition, 2023)
  • Athletes: Every 8–12 weeks to monitor performance metrics
  • Health Monitoring: Every 3–6 months for metabolic risk checks

Why Consistency Matters

  • Hydration & meals skew same-day results (get scanned at the same time of day).
  • Monthly scans reveal trends; yearly checks miss critical adjustments.
