The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy required by the body at complete rest to maintain its basic functions. This
value largely depends on weight, height and age.
This is displayed on the scale as the amount of energy that your body requires in any case and it must be reintroduced into
your body in the form of nutrition. If you take on less energy over the longer term, this can be harmful to your health.

Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term fluctuations in weight over a few days are usually the result
of a loss of fluid.
Important when measuring body fat/body water/muscle percentage:
• If possible, always weighs yourself at the same time of day (ideally in the morning), after going to the toilet, on an empty
stomach and without clothes to achieve comparable results.
• The measurement may only be carried out while barefoot and it is helpful if the soles of your feet are slightly damp.
Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory results, as they have insufficient conductivity.
• Stand still during the measurement.
• Wait several hours after unusually strenuous activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting out of bed so that the water in your body can be distributed.
• Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a few days are usually caused
by a loss of fluid. Body water plays an important role towards our general wellbeing.
The measurement is not reliable for:
• Children under approx. 10 years of age;
• Professional sporters and bodybuilders;
• Pregnant women;
• Persons with fever, undergoing dialysis, with symptoms of edema or osteoporosis;
• Persons taking cardiovascular medication.
• Persons taking vascodialating or vascoconstricting medications;
• Persons with substantial anatomical deviations in the legs relative to their total height (leg length considerably shorter or
longer than usual).
