Resting Metabolic rate testing

Eating to your Metabolism

Whether you are trying to lose or maintain weight it is important to know how many calories your body needs. Simply stated metabolism is the process of converting food into heat or energy. The rate and efficiency with which the body converts food to energy is referred to as the metabolic rate. The number of calories burned by the body is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen consumed. The MetaCheck calculates oxygen consumption by measuring the concentration of oxygen exhaled. You can achieve this measurement in a simple, 10 minute breath test. Once the test is completed, your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. These zones provide powerful information to help you lose weight or indicate how many calories you should be consuming to maximize fitness performance. This awesome test is being brought to fleet feet at a discounted price. Test will be administered by MultiCare Dietitian Michele Schaper MS,RD,CD.
