INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
RESTING METABOLISM
Regardless of your activity level, a minimum level of energy is required to sustain the
body's everyday functions. Resting metabolism, the amount of calories needed to supply
the body with the minimum level of energy, differs between individuals depending on
variables such as age, weight, body composition, and energy expenditure.
60-70% of daily energy use is for resting metabolism
The total amount of energy used by the body in a typical day is as follows:
Resting metabolism
Daily activity metabolism
Diet-induced thermogenesis
The ratio of these is 60%-70% for resting metabolism, 20%-30% for daily activity, and
10% for diet induced thermogenesis. This means that resting metabolism accounts for
most of our daily energy consumption.
If our daily caloric intake exceeds the amount of energy required for these activities,
the additional calories can be stored as fat.
What is skeletal muscle ...
What is skeletal muscle ratio ...
Skeletal muscle ratio (%) = {Skeletal muscle mass (kg) / Body weight (kg)} × 100
This product uses BI (Bioelectrical Impedance) to calculate your skeletal muscle mass.
Keep skeletal muscle and strengthen it to make corporeity not easily become fat.
This product's feature is the measurement of skeletal muscle ratio.
If you strengthened skeletal muscle and improved basal metabolism, you can throw your energy fleetly and not
easily get fat. and muscle will be strengthened to enjoy active life.

Energy required to maintain vital functions.
Energy used for daily activities such as
commuting to work, household chores,
hobbies etc.
Energy emitted after eating a meal.

Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs, such as the heart, and
muscle attached to bones that is used to move the body. Skeletal muscle can be
increased through exercise and other activity.
Refers to the amount of skeletal muscle mass in regards to the total body
weight expressed as a percentage.
