What is Metabolic Testing?

Metabolic Testing is a good way to push through a weight loss plateau. It can pinpoint the calories you are taking in and what calories you are expelling, this is helpful in finding out whether or not you need to exercise more and eat less or vice versa.

Metabolic testing-physiologic evaluations based on actual oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced for your RMR (resting metabolic rate) and your EMR (exercise metabolic rate).

This means that these tests show precisely how much you burn all day, every day. It is a simple 10 minute breath test. During the test, the air you breathe out is analyzed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body consumed. This is how your metabolic rate is measured. 

Before taking a metabolic test you should:

-          

       Avoid eating a meal for 4 hours

-          Avoid exercising on the day of your test
      Avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine on the day of the test
