Anyone done this type of test to get your BF, RMR, TDEE? I'm supposed to go and get this done on Tuesday. I'm really interested to see what they come up with for my numbers.

    I did the bod pod to get BF%, but mine did not calculate BMR and TDEE (the ones that do just use the same equations that are online and plug in the BF number). The Bod Pod only measures BF%, and then it is just the same calculations from there on out. You can ask the place if they do testing for BMR/TDEE. The place I went to does, so that you can get it accurate to you instead of using an equation. But if you use what the Bod Pod gives you (again basic equations) and start there, you can listen to your body to tweak as needed over time and that will also help you find where your *individual* balance is.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to ask them about this when we go. We are going to the University to have it done.

    They offer the Bod Pod on base. I am going to set up an appointment soon.
