Why Lean, Active Users May See Higher Body Fat Readings

How low‑carbohydrate and ketogenic diets can reduce total body water and impact BIA body fat results

A higher‑than‑expected body fat percentage can occur even in users who are lean, train regularly, and follow a healthy lifestyle. 

To ensure accurate results: 

  • Follow the recommended pre‑scan guidelines before each scan 
  • Use correct scanning technique 

Diet and hydration can also influence results. The Evolt 360 uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. BIA assessments rely on the body’s water content to calculate body composition, so hydration plays a critical role in accuracy and consistency. 

Users following low‑carbohydrate or ketogenic diets may have lower total body water, which can result in lower measured lean mass and a higher reported body fat percentage. This reflects hydration levels rather than true changes in body fat. 

As long as scanning conditions are consistent and aligned with your nutrition and training plan, the Evolt 360 remains an effective tool for tracking progress over time.
