**Body composition** refers to the amount of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone, and water) your body contains. Analyzing body composition gives a better understanding of health than other screening methods that only factor in weight and height, such as Body Mass Index (BMI).
Your body fat percentage in relation to your muscle mass better reflects your overall well-being than just weight or BMI.
Therefore, **body recomposition** focuses on improving your body composition rather than simply reducing weight. It’s a lifestyle approach combining fitness and nutrition to promote a healthy shift in fat-to-muscle ratio.
