BFR vs. Sub. Fat vs. Fat Mass on Dara for Goal Setting

[Alexis]

Hi, Kate.

I’ve been using my Dara scale for approx. 2 months. I know I want to reduce my body fat but which dataset is the most useful/helpful to watch?

My BFR is 26.4, Subcutaneous Fat is 27.8% and my Fat Mass is 45.5. My muscle mass is 99.4.

Thank you! Alexis

Hi! I would watch weight, body fat percentage, and muscle rate. Those are what I find to be the most beneficial. Secondary metrics would be Muscle Mass and Fat Mass – however, change is reflected SLOWLY so that’s why it’s helpful to have a secondary form of tracking like photos, videos, or behavior/stress/mood management.

If you want to keep an eye on subcutaneous fat as well you could – that number should trend downwards. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds organs and joints, and subcutaneous fat is the fat under the skin that we burn/oxidize in fat loss protocols.

Does that make sense?

It does thank you! I think I will add in the pictures as a second metric. I’m lucky that my visceral fat is low, the booty and legs get my fat distribution.
