What is basal metabolic rate?
Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy (in calories) your body uses at rest to carry out its vital functions, such as breathing, blood circulation and temperature regulation.
In other words, it's the minimum energy your body needs to survive, regardless of physical activity or extra effort.
Why is it essential to measure it?
Most methods for determining daily calorie requirements are based on general, often imprecise formulas.
But each individual is unique.
Factors such as age, muscle mass, genetics and state of health can significantly influence your metabolism.
By accurately measuring your basal metabolic rate, we obtain a personalized assessment of your energy needs.
This enables us to formulate nutritional and physical recommendations perfectly adapted to your situation.
A key element in a personalized weight loss program
If you are following a weight loss program, knowing your exact basal metabolic rate is fundamental.
Why?
Because an overly restrictive or ill-adjusted eating plan can hinder your goals by slowing down your metabolism.
By measuring your real caloric needs, we can help you :
- Adjust your food intake to optimize weight loss without compromising your health.
- Adapt your exercise program to burn the right amount of calories while preserving muscle mass.
- Track your progress and adjust your needs according to changes in your body composition.
How does the basal metabolic rate analysis work?
At the Centre d'évaluation cardiovasculaire de Laval, we use high-precision equipment to measure your basal metabolic rate.
This analysis takes several physiological factors into account and provides extremely reliable data.
To ensure optimal results, it is important to follow a few instructions before the examination:
- Avoid alcohol 24 hours before the exam.
- Avoid coffee at least 4 hours before the exam.
- Not exercising 4 hours before the exam.
- Drink 2 glasses of water about 2 hours before the exam.
- Urinating before testing.
The process is simple, non-invasive and requires no special physical effort.
Once your metabolism has been measured, you'll get a detailed report of your daily calorie requirements, which we'll use to provide you with personalized recommendations.
What are the advantages of this analysis?
- An individualized approach With real data rather than approximate calculations, you'll be able to follow a program that truly respects your physiology.
- Faster, longer-lasting results : By adjusting your physical efforts and your diet to your real needs, you'll optimize your chances of success in your weight loss or fitness goals.
- Optimum follow-up : This analysis can be repeated at different points in your journey to adjust recommendations as you progress.
