The BIA MachineThe BIA machine is a bioelectrical impedance analysis machine which measures the body’s resistance to current. In other words, it determines your body’s proportion of muscle and fat. The BIA machine is quick and easy to use and it does NOT hurt!

to achieve them.

What is a Menu & Food Intake Analysis?
During our session we will take a “24-hour recall” of all that you had to eat in the past 24 hours as well as a “food frequency questionnaire” which asks what you eat on a regular basis.
We enter this information into a diet analysis program that tells us the calories, carbohydrate, protein and fat you are eating.
We use all of this information to determine what you should be eating to achieve your nutrition goals.
