7. Energy Output
You need energy for basal metabolism, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food.

8. Basal Metabolism
The amount of energy required to support the operation of all internal body systems EXCEPT digestion.
Keeps your body alive when it is at rest.

9. Basal Metabolism cont.
It includes the energy your body uses everyday to breathe, circulate blood, maintain nerve activity, secretes hormones, maintains body temperature, and makes new cells are all part of basal metabolism.

10. Basal Metabolism Rate
Women require 0.4 calorie per pound of body weight per hour to support basal metabolism
Men require 0.5 calorie per pound of body weight per hour.
Example: 120lb woman x 0.4 = 48
48 x 24hrs in a day= 1152 energy needs.

Measures body’s resistance to a low energy electrical current. Lean tissue conducts energy and fat does not!
