- Fat Mass: The total amount of fat in your body.
- Total Energy Expenditure (TEE): How much energy your body uses daily.
- Total Body Water (TBW): The amount of water your body contains.
- Resting Energy Expenditure: The amount of energy your body uses at rest.
- Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM): The amount of muscle attached to your bones.
- Visceral Adipose Tissue: Measures the fat around your organs, linked to heart disease risk.
