How to Know If You’re Gaining Muscle or Fat


Listen Later

If the scale is going up, how do you know whether you’re gaining muscle or just gaining fat?

In this episode, Britany breaks down one of the most confusing parts of body recomposition: figuring out whether your workouts and nutrition are actually changing your body in the way you want them to.

She explains why the scale alone is a terrible measure of progress, how to identify the real signs of muscle gain, and what changes in your workouts, energy, recovery, and body composition actually mean. 

Britany also dives into why women often panic when the scale increases, the emotional side of body image, and how perimenopause can complicate the conversation around fat loss and muscle gain (but isn't the end of the road!).

This episode is equal parts practical advice, fitness education, and real talk about learning to look beyond the number on the scale.
