The basic consumption is dependent on age, sex, height as well as muscles. Please note that men have a slightly higher basic consumption than women, elderly people a lower than younger ones, musculous and active persons a higher one. The daily total energy consumption is dependent on the basic consumption as well as the activity consump- tion, which depends on the type and amount of physical activity.
Overwheight is particularly a sign that the person overestimates the own energy consumption and underestimates the energy content, which is often listed on all food.
The Fitness Scale helps to better estimate these factors. The energy consumption can be even doubled through a lot of sport and physical activity.
The entered value only influences the calorie con- sumption forecast to the total. The values of the body analysis are not influenced.
Deriving from the activity type, a factor is multiplied with the calory rest consumption (basic consumption) to determine the total consumption.
Basic consumption is the daily calorie requirement of the body at rest, so without any physical activity. Activity consumption is the used calorie requirement for physical activity. Both together result in the total consumption.
