The body composition analysis is performed with fat meter of Tanita MC 780. The method on which the fat meter is based is that of Bioelectric Obstruction (BIA) which is the most common method for measuring body composition. The principle of this method is based on the property of the extracellular fluid of the body but also of the adipose tissue to have less resistance to the flow of electric current than the adipose tissue.
With this method we get information about the lean and fat mass of the body. Lean and fat mass is our total weight

The results we get from the fat measurement that is performed are:

• Body Weight (kg)
• Body Fat Percentage (% ) and partial evaluation. It is, perhaps, the most important measure of your overall nutritional status.
• Muscle mass and partial evaluation. The weight of muscle mass.
• Bone Mass (kg). The weight of the bones in the body.
• Body Mass Index (BMI). The Weight Ratio / (your height squared), is the indicator that determines our degree of obesity.
• Basic Metabolic Rhythm. It is the measurement of the minimum amount of energy that the body consumes in order to perform the basic and vital physiological functions.
• Metabolic Age. You may be 30 years old, but how old are you? If your metabolism is active your metabolic age will be below 30, while if it is slow then it will definitely be over 30 years old.
• Total body water (%). It shows us the existence of any retention or dehydration.
• Visceral Fat index. It is a unit that shows the fat inside our abdomen, around our visceral organs and is the most important indicator of cardiovascular disease.

Having a complete analysis of our physical composition we can set goals, create a diet plan according to them and evaluate progress each time.
