Body height, age and weight are the primary factors that affect the basal
metabolic rate. The scale calculates this value in kilocalories per day
(kcal/24h) using the using the Harris-Benedict formula.
Active metabolic rate (AMR)
The active metabolic rate, AMR, refers to the amount of
energy your body requires on a daily basis during activity.
The scale calculates this amount in kilocalories per day
(kcal/24h).
To maintain your weight, you must consume the amount of energy
that corresponds to your active metabolic rate through your diet. If
you consume less energy than the calculated active metabolic rate, you
will lose weight.
On the other hand, your weight will increase if you consume more
energy than your active metabolic rate. However, if you do not
increase the amount of daily physical activity, increasing the amount of
energy consumed will only cause the percentage of body fat to rise.
The active metabolic rate is primarily affected by the personal extent
of activity. The scale uses five levels of activity as calculation
parameters.
Please obtain details on the degrees of activity from the chapter
"Setting the level of activity".
Measurements in relation to one another
Adding up the measurements for water, fat and muscle percentage
does not make sense because a portion of the body water is stored in
muscle.

In general, only long-term changes to measurements are really conclusive.
The individual results must also be considered in relation to one another.
This leads to three fundamental aspects:
• Change to the total weight,
• Change to body fat, body water and muscle percentage,
• Period during which these changes occur.
The periods are divided into:
Short-term Changes within days
Medium-term Changes within weeks
Long-term Changes within months
Short-term fluctuations in weight are primarily attributed to changes in
the water percentage as the percentage of fat and muscle only change
over the medium or long-term.
Short-term weight loss with a simultaneous increase in the percentage
of body fat are also an indication for the sole loss of water. This could
be due to diets or workouts that target rapid weight loss without
sufficient compensation of water loss.
If possible, balance diets with physical activity such as fitness or
strength training to increase your muscle percentage.
A medium-term increase in weight with a constant or declining percentage
of body fat indicates an increase in muscle mass.
A decrease in weight and body fat while the muscle percentage
remains the same or increases is indicative of an effective diet or
workout.
