Basal Metabolic Rate With BodyGem Calorimeter Indonesia

The Harris Benedict Equation for calculating BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate was developed in 1919

The first point that must be made is that our bodies have changed a lot since 1919, which added more variables.

The Harris Benedict Formula shows how to calculate BMR, but this is only an estimate based on age, height and weight. Then the activity level is added to estimate the daily caloric intake needs.

Although you can estimate Basal Metabolic Rate, subjects with the same height and weight can vary greatly in their calorie needs.

Predictive equations, such as the Harris Benedict Calculator, do not take into account variability between individuals, basic conditions, or other confounding factors such as:

* Thyroid problems, which can reduce metabolism
* Certain hormones can increase or decrease metabolism.
* Body composition - More muscle increases metabolism, less muscle decreases metabolism
* Certain supplements can increase or decrease metabolism.
* Pharmacy - Prescription drugs and OTC can increase or decrease RMR.

Instead of estimating BMR and daily calorie intake, you can measure scientifically the client's Rest calorimeter indonesia Metabolic Rate (RMR), with an BodyGem indirect calorimeter.

In 5-10 minutes, you can take snapshots from your clients Metabolic Fingerprints.

Metabolic Fingerprint, or rest metabolism, is a unique amount of calories burned every day without exercise or activity, and accounts for up to 75% of their total calorie needs.

Accurate Fingerprint Metabolic Measurements provide definite answers when creating a personal program for each of your clients.

This means that whether you work with clients to lose weight, build strength, or complete their first fitness event, the plan you prepare will be based on their needs and provide the results they are looking for.

The metabolic effects of thyroid and hormone problems, body composition, and other variables, all captured during BodyGem measurements.

Then you can use your client's unique resting metabolic rate as a basis for your recommendations for their daily calorie intake.

So stop estimating your client's daily calorie needs with Harris Benedict Equations, and start measuring their Basal Metabolism scientifically with BodyGem.
