Important Body Composition Measurements to Monitor
Body Fat Percentage – amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight. (Reducing excess body fat has shown to reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer).
Body Water – total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a percentage of total weight. Water is found in every cell, tissue and organ.
Muscle Mass – weight of muscle in your body.
Bone Mass – weight of bone, including calcium or other material in the body.
DCI – amount of calories consumed daily to maintain current weight.
BMR Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – the daily minimum level of energy or calories the body requires when resting.
Metabolic Age – Compare your BMR to the average age associated with that level of metabolism.
Visceral Fat – the fat in the abdominal cavity surrounding the vital organs. (A healthy level reduces heart disease, high blood pressure and Type II diabetes).
Physique Rating – is determined by the balance or unbalance of your body fat and muscle mass ratings.
Macronutrient’s Calculations
There are three major macronutrients that the human body needs in order to function properly: carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Find out how much of these you need on a daily basis.
In order to achieve large gains in muscle mass along with significant body fat decreases, many hormonal events need to occur in the body. The amount of success that that can be achieved in these endeavors is determined by how much testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin are produced by the body and whether or not they are produced at the right times.
These events are affected to a large extent by the quality, timing, amount, and ratio of the macronutrient’s consumed on a daily basis. There are three major macronutrient’s that the human body needs in order to function properly: carbohydrates, protein, and fats.
