METABOLISM IS MORE THAN A NUMBER

Metabolism is more than calories.

Your resting metabolic rate is the energy your body uses to keep vital functions running: breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, tissue repair and the work of every organ. It is present before activity, exercise or daily movement are added.

Using indirect calorimetry, MetaRate measures the oxygen you consume and the carbon dioxide you produce while resting. These gases allow us to calculate your resting energy expenditure from your own physiology, rather than applying a population-average formula.

WHAT RMR TELLS YOU

Stop building important decisions on a generic estimate.

Online calculators and wearable devices can be useful for general reference, but they estimate resting energy from averages and assumptions. Two people with the same height, weight and age can still use different amounts of energy at rest.

An RMR test measures your breathing directly. That gives you a personal baseline that can be discussed alongside your goals, history, nutrition and clinical context.

Measured from breath.

Oxygen in and carbon dioxide out provide the physiological signal used to calculate resting energy expenditure.

No exertion required.

The test is performed at rest. There is nothing to train for, pass or push through.

Useful context.

The result is easier to use when it is explained in relation to your question and your professional guidance.

A CLEARER STARTING POINT

Built around the question you want answered.

INDIVIDUALS

Know your own baseline.

Receive a measurement of your resting energy expenditure, a clear MetaCheck report and plain-language context for understanding what the result may mean for your nutrition, health or next professional conversation.

PROFESSIONALS

Bring better data to your practice.

Add a mobile, non-exercise metabolic assessment to your clinic, gym or practice. MetaRate provides standardized measurement, a professional-ready MetaCheck report and a clearer starting point for individualized conversations.

THE METARATE METHOD

A resting test built around your breath.

The test is non-invasive and requires no exercise. You rest comfortably, breathe normally through a mask and allow the analyzer to measure your gas exchange while your body is at rest.

01

Breathe.

After a short settling period, you sit comfortably and breathe normally through a transparent mask connected to the metabolic analyzer.

02

Measure.

The analyzer follows the air you breathe in and out, measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production over the resting measurement period.

03

Understand.

Your measurement is organized into MetaCheck: a readable report that helps you and your professional understand the result, its context and the questions worth discussing next.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Arrive rested so the measurement reflects your resting state.

A few simple conditions help create a more consistent test. We will confirm the details with you when your appointment is arranged.

Your clinician or health professional remains the right person to interpret the result within your complete context.

01Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle before the measurement begins.
02Avoid strenuous exercise and caffeine before the appointment unless your professional gives you different instructions.
03Follow the fasting or meal-timing guidance provided when your test is booked.
04Wear comfortable clothing and plan to sit quietly while the analyzer records your breath.
YOUR METACHECK REPORT

Measured data is useful when it has context.

MetaCheck turns gas-exchange data into a clear, shareable result. It can include your measured resting metabolic rate, the underlying gas-exchange values and context for comparing the measurement with an estimate. MetaCheck is not a diagnosis or a diet prescription; it is a more reliable baseline for an informed conversation.

MEASURED GAS EXCHANGE

Your body is always using energy.
