A range is more honest than false precision
Photographs show outside appearance, not the internal composition measured by a clinical method. Clothing, pose, image quality and the model used can all influence the estimate.
A range communicates uncertainty better than a decimal that looks more exact than the evidence allows.
Follow the same method over time
If you choose to follow a photo-based estimate, repeat the same capture process and compare results produced by the same method. Changing devices, clothing or estimation methods can create differences unrelated to your body.
Look for a longer direction across several compatible check-ins rather than reacting to a single shift.
Do not substitute it for medical assessment
A photo-derived estimate cannot diagnose a condition or decide whether a treatment is suitable. It also cannot measure muscle. If body composition matters in your care, ask a qualified professional which method is appropriate.
Keep this check-in repeatable.
- Expect a range
- Keep conditions consistent
- Use the same estimation method
- Review several check-ins
- Do not treat it as clinical
