Metabolic Rate Test
Most of us know someone who eats much much more than we do, yet that person never seems to gain weight. But you appear to survive on very little and still struggle to shed those extra kilograms. Sound familiar? Well it often comes back to Metabolic Rate - how fast your body burns the food and drinks you consume. If you have a slow metabolism, this may explain why it is hard for you to lose weight but really you had no way to prove this fact unless you were part of some research study at a uni. Your Basal Metabolic Rate is unique to you - no one has the same metabolism as you have.

Now, you can have your Metabolic Rate measured at Wesley Nutrition Centre. The test takes up to 60 minutes and needs you to lay down, relax and breathe normally. The biggest challenge is not to fall asleep! No exercise or treadmill or blood tests are involved.

Without any lingering doubt, you will discover exactly how fast or slow your metabolism is and how many calories (kilojoules) your body needs at rest. From there, your dietitian and personal trainer can establish a great plan to get your health and weight into better shape.

Book an appointment for when you are next in Brisbane to discover your unique Metabolic Rate. Phone 07 3870 8616 and be sure to ask for a Metabolic Rate test so that you booked into the right clinic session which is currently on Tuesday.

You do not have to be an existing client of ours. You are under no obligation to see one of our dietitians and can return to your health professional and trainer armed with the results as interpreted by our dietitian. Watch this Metabolic Rate Video to see the test in action. Please be patient while it loads.

The highly sensitive equipment we use is validated in scientific studies and is of research quality. We are the only private dietitians in Queensland that have this specialised, high quality equipment.

Please note that this test is not to be confused with a body composition test (BIA or bio-impedance assessment) which measures the amount of fat and lean tissue stored in your body. We offer this test as well and it can be performed on the same day as your Basal Metabolic Rate test. Some gyms and weight loss centres tell you that this gear works out your metabolic rate, but the truth is these BIA machines use a theoretical formula to guesstimate your rate. They only measure your body fat, not your metabolism.
