How many calories should you eat and burn during exercise each day? If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain an ideal body fat ratio, this is important information to know!

The BodyGem™ resting metabolism test measures the number of calories your body burns each day at rest. Along with calculations of your activity levels, this helps determine your daily caloric needs.

The BodyGem™ test takes 10 to 15 minutes using an indirect calorimeter device. It is not a blood test.

Testing should be done in a fasted state - ideally in the morning.

*No caffeine, nicotine, food or exercise for 4-8 hours. Medications and water are OK.

The cost is $60 and includes the test, interpretation of results and your next steps according to your individual goals.
