Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
BMR means the amount of energy the body needs for its basal vital
functions when the body is in the state of absolute calmness (e. g. when
you stay in bed for 24 hours). This value mainly depends on factors like
weight, body size and age.
This value is displayed on your eVito Body Weight Scale. The unit is kcal/
day. The basis for the calculation is the science-based Harris-Benedict
Formula. If your body gets less energy for a longer time, it can affect
negatively your health.
Active Metabolic Rate (AMR):
The active metabolic rate means the amount of energy the body needs
daily in the state of activity. The energy consumption increases with
increased physical exercise. Your eVito Body Weight Scale has 4 different
activity indices to determine the appropriate degree of activity.
In order to maintain the current weight the consumed energy must be
replaced in form of food and drink. In case when this energy will not be
replaced, the body uses the stored fat – the body loses weight. In case
when the body gets more energy than the required AMR, the body is not
able to use this energy – it will be stored inside the body and you gain
weight.
