Resting Metabolic Rate

You Learn: How many calories you can consume without gaining weight What caloric deficit is required to lose weight Your 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	Resting Metabolic Rate How many calories can you consume without gaining weight? To effectively manage "Calories In" and balance the Energy Equation," it is important to know your 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: Genetics Age Gender Height Body Composition Activity Level Other physical and environmental factors
	New Leaf RMR Assessment Measures both VO`2` and VCO`2` for greatest accuracy Assessment 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 ration 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	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. The "gold standard" for determining RMR is through indirect calorimetry using a metabolic analyzer which measures both VO`2` and VCO`2` as provided by the New Leaf Active Metabolic Assessment System
