Basal Metabolism Analysis
Basal Metabolism Analysis provides important information about your resting metabolism. Your resting metabolism is 60-75% of the total calories your body burns daily. This service is suited to clients who for different reasons need to focus on their dietary intake. This test is also useful in identifying any potential metabolic problems. The basal metabolism report is used by dietitians and nutritionists for a more accurate and individualised diet prescription. The National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia recommends this test for prescription of diets. For a complete profile of your metabolism, we recommend the Complete Metabolism Analysis.
