This is the amount of energy that is required by your body under all circumstances and must be re-supplied to
the body in the form of food. If your energy intake is below this level in the longer term, this can result in damage
to health.
AMR
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy that the active body consumes each day. An individual’s
energy requirement increases when the level of physical activity increases; the diagnostic scale calculates this by
means of the activity level (1– 5) that has been entered.
To maintain the current weight, the energy that the body uses must be replaced in the form of food and drink. If
less energy is taken in than is used over a long period of time, the body takes the difference from the fat stores
with resulting weight loss. However, if the amount of energy taken in exceeds the calculated active metabolic rate
(AMR) for a longer period, the body cannot burn off the excess energy. The excess is stored in the body as fat,
leading to weight gain.
Temporal context of the results
Please note that only the long-term trend is significant. Brief deviations in weight within a few days are nor-
mally caused by loss of fluids.
The interpretation of the results is based on changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat, body water
and muscle content, as well as on the length of time over which these changes occur. Rapid changes within the
scope of a few days are to be considered separately from medium-term changes (in the scope of weeks) and
long-term changes (months).
It can be said as a basic rule that short-term changes in weight are almost entirely changes in water content,
whereas medium-term and long-term changes may also relate to the fat percentage and the muscle percentage.
• If your weight drops in the short term but your body fat percentage increases or stays the same, you have only
lost water, for example following a training session, visit to the sauna or a diet aimed only at fast weight loss.
• On the other hand, if your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat percentage drops or stays
the same, you may have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage both fall at the same time, then your diet is working – you are losing fat
mass.
• Ideally, you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This enables you to
increase your muscle percentage in the medium term.
• Body fat, body water and muscle percentages should not be totalled (muscle tissue also contains components
made of body water).
11. Transferring measurements
a) Using the app
If the app is not open, the newly assigned measurements are saved on the scale. A total of 30 measurements
per user can be saved on the scale. The saved measurements are transferred automatically to the app when you
open the app within the
Bluetooth
®
range. It is possible to automatically transfer data when the scale is switched
off.
b) By USB
– You will find the Beurer software download and installer in the download area at http://www.beurer.com
– Follow the instructions for software installation.
– Establish USB connection.
