One of the most unique features that come with the Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer is the availability of a macronutrient analysis for clients and non-clients alike following a body scan.
It’s a component of the Evolt 360 that uses artificial intelligence to determine an individual’s macronutrient profile – done by measuring skeletal muscle mass in a bid to discover basal metabolic rate. A more traditional way of creating a macronutrient profile uses overall weight and calculating by hand, which of course is subject to human error, however, given we live in a digital age it makes sense to take advantage of scientific-backed technology to deliver reliable and repeatable results to as many people as possible.
What the Evolt 360 calculates is information about the relative and absolute amount of carbohydrates, fats and protein to track total calorie intake for an individual. There’s far more to achieving body shape goals than simply exercise, and by learning what macronutrients are required, training becomes more easily fueled and results are achieved faster.
The 3 Macronutrients Explained
Carbohydrates – Often misjudged as food enemy no. 1, carbohydrates are a vital role in bodily functions, providing the most important energy source because it converts macros into glucose to fuel organs and muscles.
Fats – Despite getting a bad reputation, fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 are essential to good health as they play vital roles in anti-inflammation, fight against heart disease and diabetes, help with relieving rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, and reducing triglycerides in the blood.
Proteins – Also known as the ‘muscle macro’, protein is made up of 20 amino acids and is the most important macro when goals are to gain and maintain strength and size.
