MetaCheck Simplifies Weight Management

A new weight management tool — available at Summit Orthopedics — allows you to determine exactly how many calories you can eat and still lose or maintain weight.

The tool is called MetaCheck. MetaCheck is a breath test that measures your metabolic rate in 10 minutes, is proven to be accurate and eliminates the need to estimate or guess the number of calories.

How does MetaCheck work? Your body consumes a fixed amount of oxygen per calorie burned. The MetaCheck measures the amount of oxygen in the air you exhale to calculate how much oxygen your body is consuming. Based on your oxygen consumption, MetaCheck then figures the exact amount of calories you are burning.

This method is significant because everyone has a unique metabolic rate, even those with similar attributes like age, height, weight, and body consumption.
