How do you figure out how fast your personal metabolism is?


Question:


Answers:
Actually it's pretty simple. Get your resting metabolic rate checked through a portable metabolic cart. Calories burned are related to how much oxygen your body uses. The oxygen you breathe in and use (not breathe back out) is what burns calories. By also measuring carbon dioxide, you can tell how much fat vs. carbs you're using.

Some health clubs will do this for about $25. Otherwise, a hospital or university could do it. You need to sit still for at least 10 minutes, fast for about 5 hours, and then wear a mask that captures all the air you breathe in and out.
