Intensity of your exercise and how you rest (make sure your getting enough) will help you burn body fat more efficiently.
Steady state cardio is good at burning calories, but doesn't do much to raise RMR. Adding in intervals regardless of what cardio you do will enhance your RMR. You burn the majority of your fat at REST. So lack of rest disrupts a more efficient burning of body fat.

You are talking pure nonsense. There is no such thing as a fat burning zone. The bigger the deficit, the greater the weight loss (and fat loss), if your macros are right. Ie, getting enough protein, and you are performing strength training a couple times a week. I am assuming you are attempting reasonable weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week.

No where did I mention a "fat burning" zone. And please find any medical book that doesn't state the main energy source burned at rest is fat. We burn more fat sleeping 8 hours than if one exercised steady state 70% intensity for an hour.

HIIT doesn't increase your RMR, unless you are referring to EPOC. And the gain from EPOC is minor, 7% of total calories in EPOC for steady state, vs 14% more calories due to EPOC for HIIT. That is 14% of the calories you burned during the HIIT session. Most people can burn significantly more calories in an hour long steady state at 70% of max effort then you can in an hour at 100% effort with rest periods.

Furthermore, the fitter you are, more efficient you are, the less EPOC you get. And the fitter you are, the lower the RMR.

Lol, there are peer reviewed studies like the above that trump what you opine. HIIT is more anaerobic than aerobic which is why the difference in calorie burn, but intensity and stress greatly affects how the body compensates in recovery, building, fitness and yes how one burns body fat.

I'll take the physique of a sprinter over a long distance runner any day of the week.

I have one, I also use it for trending because of the inaccuracy. And even then I don't feel it's worth my time to pull it out and use it even though it takes 30 seconds so it sits for months at a time.

I have the Omron scale and never use it. I don't find it helpful, I know in other ways that I'm losing fat. It is unreliable.

How is this machine in determining FM and FFM?
