Increasing your protein intake and incorporating strength training into your routine can help you lose body fat and increase muscle mass.

Body composition refers to the amount of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone, and water) your body contains.

Analyzing body composition gives a better understanding of health than other screening methods that only factor in weight and height, such as body mass index (BMI).

That’s because your body fat percentage in relation to your muscle mass better reflects your overall well-being than just weight or BMI.

Therefore, body recomposition focuses on body composition rather than weight.

Unlike a standard diet, body recomposition is a lifestyle in which fitness and nutrition techniques lead to beneficial changes in your body’s ratio of fat to muscle.
