METABOLIC TESTING
Metabolic testing provides measurable insight into how your body uses energy at rest. Although metabolism is widely discussed, many people rely on estimates rather than objective data. Accurate metabolic testing establishes a baseline that supports weight management, metabolic health, and medical nutrition therapy.
Many clients seek metabolic testing when working with a dietitian or nutritionist for weight loss or weight management in Charlotte NC and surrounding areas. Objective data allows nutrition care to be tailored to real energy needs rather than assumptions.
Our registered dietitians provide metabolic testing support through telehealth and in person care for clients in Charlotte NC, Raleigh NC, Savannah GA, Columbia SC, and additional telehealth states. Testing is completed using the BodyGem indirect calorimeter to measure resting metabolic rate and guide individualized nutrition planning.
Nutrition strategies are developed using measured metabolic data. This approach supports realistic calorie targets, energy balance, and long term wellness goals.
WHAT IS METABOLIC TESTING?
Metabolic testing measures resting metabolic rate, which reflects how much energy your body requires each day to support essential functions. This data is often used in medical nutrition therapy and weight management programs led by registered dietitians.
Testing requires a four hour fast. Clients breathe normally into a mouthpiece for several minutes while measurements are collected. Results are reviewed with a registered dietitian and used to guide a personalized nutrition plan for weight loss, weight gain, or metabolic health support.
**Metabolic testing cannot be completed during an initial consultation.
