Metabolic Testing: Metabolic rate testing is crucial for an athlete attempting to achieve a higher power:weight ratio, an individual who wants to lose fat or gain muscle, or someone who is just curious whether they have a "high or low" metabolism.
Your metabolic rate is the number of calories you burn during a day at rest, and this number actually accounts for about 75% of the total daily energy expenditure. If you know your resting metabolic rate, or RMR, you can instantly determine exactly how many calories you need to eat in a day in order to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Simply put, this measurement completely takes the guesswork out of establishing a proper calorie input amount.
The simple 10 minute assessment includes a complete follow-up report that tells you exactly how to use your metabolic rate determination to achieve your weight goals as quickly as possible. It can be combined with a discounted body composition test to determine body fat percentage and calculation of realistic fat loss or muscle gain goals.
For sports nutrition or weight management through exercise, it is also recommended to perform an exercise metabolic test to determine calories burnt during exercise and carbohydrate to fat burning ratio at different intensities, thus giving you proper heart rate training zones.
