Body Composition Testing, NYC

Body Composition Testing with New York City Dietitian Nutritionist

Get accurate data on the fat mass (FM) and free-fat mass (FFM) of your body. Identify risk factors for certain diseases, like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Determine whether you’re fueling enough for optimal performance. Get motivated to reach your weight goals, and boost your energy levels.

 

Benefits of Body Composition Testing for Weight Management, Athletes, and Building Muscle Mass

Why take a body composition test?

Body composition is important information for those trying to lose or gain weight, competitive athletes, or those trying to build muscle. We use the Inbody 270 Body Composition Analyzer. In less than a minute, it can measure your body fat, muscle, and water levels. This is done through bio-electrical impedance. It also gives us a breakdown of where most of your body fat is stored and which part of the body has the least amount of muscle. 

For those trying to lose weight, the focus is on losing fat while maintaining muscle rather than just the number on the scale. Weight and BMI are deceptive!

The Power of Data: Why Body Composition Matters

Standard scales cannot distinguish between muscle, water, and fat. Our precise testing methods provide a clear “blueprint” of your internal health, allowing us to:

  • Analyze Fat-to-Muscle Ratio: Use the most accurate methods to determine fat mass versus fat-free mass.

  • Assess Metabolic Health: Determine exactly how lean and fit you are to tailor your caloric needs.

  • Identify Clinical Risk Factors: Screen for markers associated with chronic metabolic diseases and osteoporosis.

  • Optimize Caloric Burn: Develop an individualized nutrition plan designed to burn fat while preserving and building muscle.

 

Why is body composition important for sports?

Lean body mass plays a role in enhancing speed, quickness, and agility performance by aiding in the generation of force for maximal acceleration and deceleration. It’s physics, really. Also, minimizing nonessential body fat supports the development of muscular and cardiorespiratory endurance. By using Body Composition Testing, we get accurate information we can work with you to optimize your sports performance and build muscle mass. 

We will repeat measurements as a way of tracking progress and providing motivation for your weight maintenance (weight loss or weight gain) program. For the athlete, knowing body composition can assist in refining your nutrition to improve performance and provide a competitive edge.

Testimonials

Loving my appointments with NY Nutrition Group. They take a wholistic approach to your nutrition and health, instead of just telling you what food groups to put on your plate or to simply cut out entire foods. I better understand how food works in my body in coordination with activity, sleep, mental health and overall health and wellness. I’m so glad I found them. They are helping me heal and improve my relationship with food and my body

Working with NY Nutrition Group was the best decision I ever made! Lisa Moskovitz is an expert in intuitive eating and eating disorders. She is truly the only person that has been able to help my eating disorder recovery. Lisa is very kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend to anyone looking for support – Hope S.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Steinberg, Registered Dietitian over a period of 6 months. We met weekly to come up with personal health habits and fun meal ideas. What began as me wanting to lose some weight really ended up becoming a process of self-love and creating daily eating habits I could live with long-term. Cassie was creative and kind. She helped me in so many ways to accept the body I have and to nourish it daily. I highly recommend her as a Dietitian and body image guru

Have been working with Lisa for 9 months and am very pleased with the experience. I’ve seen progress toward my goals, but more importantly, the way that Lisa frames progress is holistic, balanced, and not overly obsessed with the scale. I’m grateful to have someone to share my stressors and disappointments through the process who has the knowledge and perspective to help assuage them. I’ve never once felt like I was being pushed into unsustainable habits or behaviors that are isolating. A great person to add to your care team if you want to build a healthy, realistic relationship with food and your body!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanne for a couple of months now and I’ve never felt better. Since I first started working with her she listened to all my goals and always gave me the best guidance and recommendations to meet my goals. I’ve noticed that I make wiser nutrition decisions since working with her and value the sessions we have

by – Maria Toro Franco

I’ve had the pleasure of working with two outstanding nutritionists. My former nutritionist left during COVID. Since then, I’ve been working with Julia DiPietrantonio. Julia is culturally competent, which is very important to me … If you’re looking to gain confidence not just a sense of control over your relationship with food, Julia is a great partner. I really appreciate NYNG, and I hope they continue to see cultural competency as a key pillar of their platform – Zahra Marie
