Dietary and Calorie In-Take Testing

SBFMG offers an easy and accurate way to measure an individual's resting energy expenditure by measuring the oxygen that the body uses. This technique is used for nutritional assessment and medical nutrition therapy.

Indirect Calorimetry testing requires a simple 10 minute breath test. Knowing what your caloric needs are and whether you have a "slow, normal or fast" metabolism can give you and your physician valuable information to more effectively design a weight loss or nutrition plan.

Truth for weight loss:

You must burn more than you eat

What does Indirect Calorimetry tell you?

  • Calories you burn
  • Calories needed for weight loss or weight maintenance
  • Comparison of metabolism to others of same age, size, sex, and activity

Insurance coverage:

Covered by most insurance companies and Medicare for weight management and nutritional assessment with specific clinical diseases.

All procedures are directed by the guidance of your South Bay Family Medical Group primary care physician.
