My overall goal is to mainly reduce my bodyfat and maintain or even add a little bit of muscle.
I had a DEXA scan about 4 months. Good lean body mass; not so good bodyfat level.
I’m going to go back in about one month for a follow up scan. Question is (I know this is likely just opinions) but since I’ve gotten back into training and nutrition, for the first time ever I am seeing veins in my arms. And when I say ever, I mean ever and I am a 52yr old male. Out of curiosity, what do you think the likelihood is that since last DEXA scan, I’ve lost bodyfat and also maybe even added some lbm.
My fear has always been when I drop weight it’s due to my calorie restriction being too much so I lose muscle and fat, just shutting down my metabolism.
In fact, when I did have my DEXA scan 4 months ago, I had lost 11lbs since my last DEXA. Now the prior one was pre-covid and since Covid I did zero resistance training. Just started back doing that about 6 months.
So anyway, seeing veins makes me hopeful I’m losing fat and not muscle; was just curious to get others thoughts. I will ultimately get the info when I redo DEXA.
