Consistent Scans
How Body Composition Tracking Keeps You Motivated | Total Health and Fitness / How a tracking rhythm builds accountability
"Scan on a schedule, not on a mood. Re-measuring every few weeks gives changes time to accumulate past the noise floor. Scanning after every hard workout or heavy meal invites the same anxiety the daily scale creates.\n\nKeep conditions similar. Scans compare best when taken at a similar time of day, in a similar state of hydration and food intake. Consistency in conditions is what makes the trend trustworthy."
