Metabolic Testing
Find out how many calories you really need with a resting metabolic rate test. The Performance Nutrition Program at Kaiser Permanente Colorado uses the Medgem® indirect calorimeter to quickly and accurately measure resting metabolic rate. The Medgem® is a handheld device that resting VO2 and calculates your resting calorie needs. Depending on your activity level, your resting metabolic rate makes up around 70-75% of your daily calorie needs. One hour session includes test plus review of results.
