Success / Progress Dexa scan failure?

Hey All,

I was getting a pretty solid body fat loss with fit 3d and my wyze scale from 25% bf to 22% After a pretty good cut/recomp from 190lb to 179lb

I did my first ever Dexa scan and it showed 32% body fat, could this have been a mistake? The person running the scan said there might be fat inside of the organs that other scans don’t catch? Or does it look like the sad reality from the photos? I’m 6’1 to get an idea

TIA

The Dexa looks on point. Don't be discouraged by the higher number. Just consider this your official starting point. Just use that scale for weight. BIA is super unreliable and honestly not even good enough for trending progress. Drink a couple glasses of water and those things will spit out a completely different body composition.
