What is Indirect Calorimetry?

Indirect calorimetry is the most accurate measurement of energy generated – and calories burned – by your body during rest and muscular effort. Unfortunately, it is an impractical, invasive procedure which requires:

  • A fully enclosed laboratory setting where normal daily activities are impossible to replicate
  • A mouthpiece for breathing
  • Computerized systems for the collection, analysis, and output of respiratory data

 

  

LifeChek™ uses direct calorimetry and is the only portable device which achieves results equivalent to indirect calorimetry.
