Ideas in this flowchart

• Body-composition tracking should match the body's slow rate of change.
• Body composition changes slowly.
• Measuring faster than the body changes captures short-term variation.
• Short-term variation appears as measurement noise.
• Noise can be misread as failure.
• If tracking causes anxiety, the measurement interval is usually the issue.
• Use a longer interval between measurements.
• Changing the device is usually not the solution.
