What is Metabolic Testing?

Metabolic tests show precisely how many calories you burn all day. In the past, metabolic testing was only available at universities and hospitals. Metabolic testing identifies your unique target caloric zones so you can meet your goals with diet and exercise.

What to expect during the test

Metabolic testing is a simple 10 minute breath test. During the test you will sit back, relax and breathe. You will be given a mouth-piece to breathe into. You will be breathing air from the room, but the air you breath out will go into the metabolic analyzer to measure your metabolic rate.

Benefits of Metabolic Testing

Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. These target zones will show you how to eat the maximum amount of food and still loose weight. Your results can assist your personal trainer or nutrition specialist in designing a plan to meet your individual goals quickly.

It is best to measure your metabolic rate at a true resting level. To ensure you are at rest, the following is recommended:

1. Avoid eating a meal 4 hours before the test.

2. Avoid exercising on the day of your test.

3. If possible, avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine on the day of the test.
