[Question] how do you actually verify FFMI
how do you actually verify FFMI. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete.
Tracked grip strength and three lifts monthly. Cheaper than scanning and directionally the same answer.
Protein was the whole problem. Appetite dropped and I was eating well under target without noticing for a month.
Kept the same programme for a year instead of changing it every six weeks. That was the change that worked.
Please do not ask me what dose you should be on. I genuinely do not know and neither does anyone else here.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Hydration status and fasting state affect the lean mass estimate. Standardising both is the difference between a comparison and a coin toss.

Lost slower for six months deliberately and my composition change was not obviously different. Training was what mattered.
training volume matters more than training novelty
Same DEXA machine both times?
resistance training first, cardio if there is time left
nothing on this board is a training or nutrition prescription
What is protein intake actually looking like, measured rather than estimated?
How many weeks between the two scans?
lean mass loss during weight loss is expected, the question is how much
Small fix — that is fat-free mass, not muscle mass. The scan cannot separate them the way the post assumes.
