Back to the BASIC

Let's back to the basic, a very simple explanation of gaining FAT. Our body is designed to store fat, and this is how our ancestors survived. Your body total energy intake (in Calorie) should not exceed total energy required. So the formula here is:

Energy Intake - Total Energy Required = Fat Stored

I take a standard male who works in office like most of us, the energy required is approximately 1800-2000kcal. If the guy is taking more than 2000kcal of energy, then he is gaining fat.

2200kcal - 2000kcal = 200kcal

So by only looking at energy intake, you should know what you are eating.

Knowing Your Body Facts

You know the latest Hollywood topics, you also know when Apple is going to release the upcoming Iphone 5. But do you know your body well? I guess is a NO for most of you. You can easily get some facts out from the body composition analyzer.

You will be able to see your:
BMI - Body Mass Index which is your height to weight ratio, should between 18-24 unless you are a body builder/athlete.
BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate represents the total energy required in a day
IMPEDANCE - Reflects the body’s inherent resistance to an electrical current.
Muscle acts as a conductor of the electrical current, adipose tissue acts as a resistor.
FAT % - Your body fat %
FAT MASS - Your total body fat
FFM - Fat Free Mass, everything in your body except fat
TBW - Total Body Water, TBW/Weight should not be less than 50%

However, these facts are not 100% accurate. Please take as a reference.
So go take an analysis to know your body more!
