When do you get your Dexa?

As title states. When do you get your dexa when cutting? When you're as flat as a Pancake or when you're carbed up?

Just trying to figure out what's a more accurate figure. If I use slin on my refeeds I can go up by 15lbs.

If I was going to do one, I personally would get it done when you’re crispy and dry, but the results shouldn’t vary much based on the testing method IMO.

When I diet I do a cyclical ketogenic diet - no carbs Monday through Friday, carb up on the weekends. I get my Dexa scans on a Friday morning when I'm at my most dry and depleted for the week. I do it that way because I figured it's the most accurate way to gauge muscle gains.

In my case getting the scan depleted vs. loaded would make quite a difference - for example, I'm dieting right now and carbed up over the weekend and gained 10lbs. from Friday morning to this morning.
