Metabolic Testing
Have your metabolic rate measured
Using a machine called an indirect calorimeter, the number of calories your body needs can be determined in just 10 minutes.
A dietitian then helps you understand your test results and build a custom meal plan based on your body's needs.
METABOLIC TESTING
1
Schedule your appointment
2
Come fasted without exercising
3
Wear the mask for 10 minutes to measure your metabolism
4

How it works:
You breathe into the machine for 10 minutes and it calculates how many calories you're burning!
When we breathe, byproducts of metabolism are exhaled. The machine (an indirect calorimeter) measures these byproducts. The more calories you are burning, the more byproducts exist. A dietitian can then help you understand what your results mean in terms of real food.
The problem
Most professionals rely on general formulas to daily energy needs.
These formulas simply can not take into account the numerous factors that may be affecting your metabolism and are most often wrong by 10-30%.
​
Indirect calorimetry, on the other hand, measures your unique metabolism by analyzing the oxygen you breate in and the carbon dioxide you produce.
The solution:
Measuring your metabolism will tell you your daily energy needs with less than 5% error.
​
This will allow you to better:
1. Take control of your weight and body composition
2. Build a better diet and fitness plan
3. Stop guessing your calorie needs
