My clients weight didn’t change but her body fat went up from 31% to 37%. What could cause the increase in BF?

Hi Pascale,
I’m not sure if you are aware but bioelectrical impedance device has +/- of up to 14% depending upon if your client is hydrated, has jewelry on, or isn’t holding the device appropriately. Maybe BF% isn’t the best way to measure if it will be discouraging. I would look into other ways of measuring her progress such as doing body measurements, whether it’s hip to waist or measuring bust, waist, hip, arms, and thigh or doing a fitness assessment (3 minute step test, push up/modified push up, measurements, and flexibility).
Hope this helps!
