CSIRO study yesterday, did it for the free body scan (as part of some food tasting and rating)… some dad bod numbers here for sure.

BW 69.4 (clothed, mid arvo post breaky and lunch)
skeletal muscle mass 31.5kg
body fat 19.5%
basal metabolic rate 1580 kcal

Left leg and arm slightly more weight than RHS (left hand dominant here)

segmental lean analysis - torso just above ‘normal’ range.
arms and legs upper end of normal range

Interesting results, keen to see how these numbers might track in a few months time.
