Why a Body Composition Test Matters for Your Health
Understanding your body composition is one of the most powerful ways to improve your health. Unlike a regular scale, which only shows total weight, a body composition test—such as the InBody Test—reveals your body fat, muscle mass, and water balance.
At Eatuitive Nutrition, we use this data-driven approach to help clients in Calgary make precise, informed decisions about nutrition and fitness. This test provides the foundation for a personalized health plan built around your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.
What Is a Body Composition Test?
A body composition test measures what your body is made of—muscle, fat, and water—offering insight beyond traditional weight tracking.
This detailed analysis helps identify imbalances that may affect metabolism, performance, or long-term health. By understanding these numbers, our dietitians and nutritionists can design targeted strategies to improve strength, body composition, and well-being.
The InBody Test: A Clear Window Into Your Health
The InBody Test uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess muscle, fat, and water distribution throughout your body. It’s quick, non-invasive, and highly accurate—producing a complete snapshot of your health in under two minutes.
At Eatuitive Nutrition, we integrate your InBody results directly into your nutrition plan and personal training program, ensuring every recommendation aligns with your physiology.
Key Benefits of the InBody Test
1. Precise Health Assessment
Unlike a standard scale, the InBody Test provides an accurate analysis of your muscle-to-fat ratio, helping you focus on body composition improvement, not just weight loss.
2. Personalized Nutrition Guidance
With detailed metrics, our dietitians can craft a nutrition plan tailored to your body’s needs, supporting metabolism, performance, and recovery.
3. Integrated Personal Training
Our registered dietitian is also a certified personal trainer, offering integrated nutrition and fitness coaching designed around your InBody data.
4. Ongoing Progress Tracking
Regular testing allows us to measure changes in fat and muscle over time. This helps refine your plan, keeping you accountable and results-oriented.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do a body composition test?
For active clients pursuing fat loss or muscle gain, every 4–6 weeks provides meaningful progress tracking. For maintenance or general health goals, testing every 3–6 months is sufficient.
Can an InBody Test help with weight loss?
Yes. It distinguishes fat loss from muscle loss, allowing for a smarter approach to body recomposition. By understanding your muscle mass and fat percentage, you can target sustainable results with your nutrition plan and training routine.
Is the InBody Test safe?
Yes. It’s completely non-invasive and painless. You simply stand barefoot on the device and hold handles while a low-level current measures your composition.
Note: It’s not recommended for those who are pregnant or have implanted medical devices such as pacemakers.
