Resting Metabolic Rate - Your Metabolism Matters
HOW MANY CALORIES CAN A PERSON CONSUME WITHOUT GAINING WEIGHT?
To effectively manage "Calories In" and "balance the Energy Equation", it is important to know an individual's daily caloric requirements. Seventy percent of the total calories a person burns each day are composed of the calories needed for essential life processes as measured by the Resting Metabolic Rate or RMR. The remaining thirty percent of calories burned come from physical activity such as digestion, activities of daily living and exercise.

WHY MEASURE RMR?
Everyone's metabolism and caloric needs are different. Your body's metabolism is affected by:Age
Gender
Height
Body Composition
Activity Level
Other physical and environmental factors
Everyone's metabolism and caloric needs are different. Your body's metabolism is affected by:
- Genetics
MEASURED RMR VS. ESTIMATIONS
When RMR is calculated by estimations it is subject to significant error - as much as 20% to 25%.* This can lead to an inappropriate nutritional plan for your client.
The "gold standard" for determining RMR is through indirect calorimetry using a metabolic analyzer which measures both VO2 and VCO2 as provided by the New Leaf Active Metabolic Assessment System.

NEW LEAF RMR ASSESSMENTAssessment is easy to perform
Requires approximately 10 to 12 minutes to complete
Creates a metabolic report which includes the client's RMR, total caloric consumption and Action Plan for weight loss
Determines the client's ratio of fat and carbohydrate utilization
Offers re-assessments which chart progress and change in RMR
Client's nutrition and exercise plans can be adjusted based on objective measurements
- Measures both VO2 and VCO2 for greatest accuracy
CLIENTS LEARN: What caloric deficit is required to lose weight
Their unique personal metabolic requirements
How many calories from exercise should be included in a balanced weight loss program
How many calories are burned from fat compared to carbohydrates
IN THE ZONE is a metabolic assessment enterprise bringing state of the art fitness and nutritional evaluation to health and sport conscious individuals. Evaluation and testing is performed on the New Leaf breakthrough VO2 testing technology.
