BMR
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy required by the body at complete rest in order
to maintain its basic functions (e.g. lying in bed 24 hours a day). This value is primarily dependent on
weight, height and age. It is displayed on the diagnostic scale in the unit kcal/day and calculated using
the scientifically recognised Mifflin St. Jeor equation.
This is the amount of energy that is required by your body under all circumstances and must be
re-supplied to the body in the form of food. If your energy intake is below this level in the longer term,
this can result in damage to health.
AMR
The active metabolic rate (AMR) is the amount of energy that the active body consumes each day. An
individual's energy requirement increases when the level of physical activity increases; the diagnostic
bathroom scale calculates this by means of the activity level (1–5) that has been entered.
To maintain the current weight, the energy that the body uses must be replaced in the form of food
and drink. If less energy is taken in than is used over a long period of time, the body primarily takes
the difference from the fat stores with resulting weight loss. However, if the amount of energy taken in
exceeds the calculated active metabolic rate (AMR) for a longer period, the body cannot burn off the
excess energy. The excess is stored in the body as fat, leading to weight gain.
Temporal context of the results
Please note that only the long-term trend is significant. Brief deviations in weight within a few
days are normally caused by loss of fluids.
The interpretation of the results is based on changes in total body weight, percentage of body fat,
body water and muscle content, as well as on the length of time over which these changes occur.
Rapid changes within the scope of a few days are to be considered separately from medium-term
changes (in the scope of weeks) and long-term changes (months).
It can be said as a basic rule that short-term changes in weight are almost entirely changes in water
content, whereas medium-term and long-term changes may also relate to the fat percentage and the
muscle percentage.
• If your weight drops in the short term but your body fat percentage increases or stays the same,
you have only lost water, for example following a training session, visit to the sauna or a diet aimed
only at fast weight loss.
• On the other hand, if your weight increases in the medium term and your body fat percentage
drops or stays the same, you may have built up valuable muscle mass.
• If your weight and body fat percentage both fall at the same time, then your diet is working – you
are losing fat mass.
• Ideally, you should support your diet with physical activity, fitness or strength training. This ena-
bles you to increase your muscle percentage in the medium term.
• Body fat, body water and muscle percentages should not be totalled (muscle tissue also contains
components made of body water).
11. TRANSFERRING MEASUREMENTS VIA APP
If the app is not open, the newly assigned measurements are saved on the scale. A maximum of 30
measurements per user can be saved on the scale. The saved measurements are transferred auto-
matically to the app when you open the app within the Bluetooth
transfer data when the scale is switched off if Bluetooth
