About FitNoggin
FitNoggin teaches adults over 40 to read a body composition scan and eat to keep their lean mass. We do it with a free calculator and self-paced courses and guides, paid for once.
Why FitNoggin exists
A DEXA, InBody, or Bod Pod scan takes a few minutes and costs real money. Then you get a page of numbers: lean mass to a tenth of a pound, fat by region, a resting rate, sometimes a score. It rarely comes with a plan.
Someone may say "build muscle" and leave it there. An app may set 1,200 calories a day from your weight alone. Many people over 40 have dieted that way before, lost weight, and felt weaker for it.
FitNoggin is for the hour after the scan. We explain each line in plain words, turn your lean mass into a resting burn, a calorie target, and a protein target, and show you how to read the next scan so you can tell a real change from noise.
What FitNoggin believes
- Lean mass leads. The scale counts water, breakfast, and bone along with muscle. Lean mass is the number we build a plan on, because it sets your resting burn and it is the part worth keeping.
- An estimate is called an estimate. Resting burn from a formula is a careful guess, not a measurement. Every number we show names its formula and the inputs it used.
- A target never goes below resting burn. Eat under it for weeks and part of the gap is paid in muscle. Our deficits are small on purpose.
- One scan is a baseline. The second scan, taken the same way, is where you learn something.
A mark is an estimate until the rescan.

We do not sell supplements, meal plans, coaching, or medical care. The FitNoggin Academy is the name of our library; it is not a school, and it gives no certificates or credits.
What we will not do
Open any line for the reason.
Diagnose you, or tell you whether you are healthy
FitNoggin is education. We do not read a scan for medical meaning, and we never comment on bone density or other medical fields. Talk to your doctor about those, and before a big change to how you eat or train.
Promise weight loss, or any result
No guarantees and no before-and-after photos. Bodies, scanners, and weeks all vary. We teach you to read a change; we do not predict one.
Coach you one to one
There is no coaching tier and no upsell to one. The course is self-paced and the guides are yours to keep.
Sell you a supplement, a shake, or a meal plan
We sell courses and guides and nothing else, with no affiliate links to powders or products.
Ask you to upload your scan
The calculator takes the numbers you type and works them out in your browser. It sends nothing anywhere.
Hide a cost
Prices are paid once: $149 for the course, $24 a guide. No subscription, no renewal, no shipping, no fees.
