BIA QUESTIONS
(Continued)
What do the different Activity Levels mean ?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is an estimate of how many calories your body would burn in a
24 hour period if your body were completely at rest. To get an idea of how many calories
your body actually requires in a day, select the activity level that best describes how you
spend the majority of your day. ( > 12 hours / day ) Under each label below is a list of repre-
sentative activities to help you choose the most appropriate activity level.
Earlier body composition analysis software from RJL Systems used different labels for the
activity levels, which are listed in parenthesis.
