The InBody Body Composition Analyzer scan estimates resting metabolic rate (RMR) by first using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to accurately measure a person’s body composition, especially their lean muscle mass and body fat.
How the InBody scan works
Body Composition Measurement: The InBody machine sends multiple frequencies of electrical currents through the body. You stand on the device and hold the handles, and the sensors collect data on the resistance of your tissues.
Body Fat and Muscle Mass Calculation: By measuring the resistance, the device can differentiate between fat tissue and lean muscle tissue.
RMR Estimation: The InBody scan uses the amount of lean muscle mass as the primary factor for estimating RMR, as muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat tissue.
It also accounts for body size, sex, and age in a more personalized way than traditional formulas.
Personalized Results: The result is a personalized estimate of your RMR, which provides a more accurate foundation for creating nutrition and fitness plans compared to generic estimates that are not based on your specific body composition.
The Microlife BodyGem and MedGem indirect calorimetry devices measure your clients Resting Metabolic Rate, to optimize their weight loss results.
Instead of estimating RMR with the Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle formula, the BodyGem and MedGem scientifically measure a clients Metabolic Fingerprint, that is unique to them.
Estimation formulas cannot factor in thyroid issues, the effects of medications, etc.
For the best care, the American Dietetics Association recommends using indirect calorimetry to measure RMR for the most accurate assessment of nutritional needs.
The BodyGem and MedGem are the same type indirect calorimeter. They have the same functionality, accuracy and reliability.
The difference is that the MedGem is a FDA 510K-cleared, class II, medical device, which allows licensed clinicians to make insurance claims on their measurements.
