Nutrium allows you to use several equations to assess your client's body composition. In order to calculate these predictive equations, you need to register relevant anthropometric measurements previously evaluated.

Once you've registered the required fields to use in predictive equations (such skin folds, weight, height and age, fat mass/lean body mass...), you need to click on any of these items in "Body Composition", in order for the software to predict them.

When clicking on those items, a new section will appear. It will allow you to choose the most suitable predictive equation for your clients' age and gender.

Once you choose the predictive equation you want to use, click in "Record measurement" to save that measurement on your clients' profile. 

If there is any predictive equation that you normally but you can't find in Nutrium, send us your suggestion.
