BIA Hydration Consistency Protocol

A BIA hydration consistency protocol standardizes fluids, timing, and prior-day training so bioimpedance trends reflect tissue change—not water noise alone.

A BIA hydration consistency protocol fixes fluid state before bioimpedance—same time after waking, empty bladder, no sauna or hard workout the prior evening, similar sodium the day before. Dehydration reads leaner; overhydration inflates fat percent.

Menstrual fluid retention can shift BIA several points for days. Treat spikes as water stories until waist and photos agree.

Common questions

  • Should you drink water before BIA?

    Follow the same rule every time—often fasted morning after bathroom, normal overnight hydration. Chugging liters right before a scan skews lean mass readings upward.
