Body composition

Body composition describes what your weight is made of, separating lean mass, fat mass and other components.

Also known as: Body comp

Two people with the same weight and height can have very different body compositions. That is why measurements like waist circumference, body-fat percentage and fat-free mass give more context than the scale alone.

In training practice, body composition should be tracked as a trend. What SelfShapeAI organizes is the controllable side of the process: plan, execution, logging and progression.
