The problem
Most professionals rely on general formulas to daily energy needs.
These formulas simply can not take into account the numerous factors that may be affecting your metabolism.
​
Indirect calorimetry on the other hand, measures your unique metabolism by analyzing the oxygen you breath in and the carbon dioxide you produce.
The solution:
Measuring your metabolism will tell you:
1. Whether your body is burning carbs or fat for energy.
2. Your daily energy expenditure
3. Your lung capacity
​
This will allow you to better:
1. Take control of your weight and body composition
2. Build a better diet and fitness plan
3. Stop guessing your calorie needs
How it works:
Imagine your body as a furnace. The food you eat is like fuel for this furnace. When you burn this fuel, it produces energy, which is used by your body to function. Now, just like a furnace emits smoke when burning fuel, your body produces certain gases when it burns food for energy. Indirect calorimetry measures these gases, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide. Here's how it works: You breathe into a special machine. This machine then calculates the amount of oxygen you inhale and the amount of carbon dioxide you exhale. Why oxygen and carbon dioxide? Because the amount of oxygen your body uses and the amount of carbon dioxide it produces are directly related to how many calories you are burning.
