Macro partitioning

Higher dietary protein intake is significantly associated with higher Phase Angle (PhA) in athletes, independent of fat-free mass, sex, and age.

If you are an athlete, ensure your daily protein intake is sufficient (likely >1.2 g/kg/day, with higher intakes up to ~1.8-2.1 g/kg/day potentially offering higher Phase Angle benefits). Focus on high-quality protein sources like meat and eggs, as these were specifically linked to better Phase Angle values independent of total calories or muscle mass. This suggests that optimizing protein intake supports cellular health and muscle integrity, which can be monitored via Phase Angle.
