Nutrition4U offers metabolic testing to evaluate your resting metabolic rate (the amount of calories you burn at rest). From this data, we can determine your calorie needs for weight maintenance, loss or gain. Metabolic testing is a simple 10 minute test. during the test, the air you breath is analyzed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body consumed. This is how your metabolic rate is measured. Once completed, your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. These zones provide powerful information to help you to lose weight. These results will be compared to others of the same age, sex height and weight to determine if your metabolism is considered slow, normal, of fast. Preparing for the test: - Avoid eating four hours before your test
- Avoid exercising
- Avoid stimulants such as caffeine
Then sit back relax and breath! |
