Does body composition testing qualify as a deductible medical expense?

It depends if the visit to the nutritionist was recommended by a doctor to treat a diagnosed medical condition, then you would be able to deduct the body composition testing.

 

If you went to the nutritionist without a doctor's recommendation, then you cannot deduct the expense of body composition testing.
