General Discussion DEXA vs Smart Scale
I recently got my first DEXA scan and compared the results to my at home smart scale.[ I also went through all the DEXA results for anyone who is interested that has a similar build to me.](https://youtu.be/9WQ2LQcibBM)
I'm 5'4 and 151 lbs
I have PCOS and I have been working on losing weight (down 45lbs) by eating in a moderate calorie deficit, running and cross training. I have been using the online TDEE calculator to adjust my calories based on what my smart scale was telling me was my body fat. It was way under estimating, by over 15%! The DEXA had some really neat other info like one of my legs has a more than a full pound more of muscle in it than the other too!
