FAQ:


BEFORE THE TREATMENT


Answer: The calorie is a unit of energy widely used in nutrition. ... The large calorie, food calorie, or kilocalorie (Cal, calorie or kcal) is the amount of heat needed to cause the same increase in one kilogram of water. Thus, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal).
A BMI of less than 18.5 is underweight, normal weight is between 18.5 and 25, overweight is between 25 and 30 and obese is greater than 30.
RMR is a key tool for weight monitoring. There are many formulas that exist that one can use to estimate your daily caloric needs, however these formulas are not person specific, often being off the mark by more than 10%. That error rate could equal to pounds gained for someone trying to control their weight. Having an RMR test will gave you precise results and let you know exactly how many calories you need to consume to reach your goal, whether that goal is maintenance, weight loss or weight gain.
Though it differs depending on age and activity level, adult males generally require 2,000-3000 calories per day to maintain weight while adult females need around 1,600-2,400 according to the U.S Department of Health. The body does not require many calories to simply survive.
There are seven major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and water. These nutrient classes can be categorized as either macronutrients (needed in relatively large amounts) or micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities).
The most important steps in counting macros are setting a calorie goal and macronutrient range for carbs, protein and fat that works best for you. Then, log your food intake and aim to stay within your macros by eating a diet rich in fresh produce, healthy fats, complex carbs and protein sources
