Direct answer: Body recomposition describes changes in the proportion of fat and lean mass. Training, nutrition and recovery need to be coordinated. Weight may not show all progress; measurements, photos and performance help interpret the process.
Set a starting point
Register training routine, measurements and goal before changing the plan. Body composition assessments have margin of error, so compare results obtained by similar methods and conditions. Avoid treating a small difference of a single assessment as definitive proof.
Coordinate training and nutrition
Bodybuilding needs to allow stimulation and progression, while nutrition should respond to the objective and individual condition.The nutritionist can evaluate needs and adjustments.A large food restriction along with much training can hinder adherence and recovery, and should be discussed with the team.
Evaluate trends
Use records over weeks, observing measurements and ability to perform the exercises. Gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time does not occur at the same speed for all. The strategy can change as per history, response and priorities, without promise of fixed term.
What to record and discuss
- Standardize the conditions of the evaluations.
- Register performance beyond weight.
- Review training and nutrition with the professionals responsible.
