It is my understanding that the reseting metabolic rate between two individuals of the same age, sex, weight, height, body-fat percent, etc. can differ by more than 800 calories. The way to measure at what rate someone is burning calories is to measure how much CO2 they produce. Measuring CO2, not simply detecting it, with accuracy sufficient to be the basis a weight-control diet and exercise plan, with a small device with a reasonable lifespan, is a respectable engineering achievement.

My experience with Body Gem is as a health club client. In order to get a reliable measurement, the person being tested needs to follow a reasonable protocol prior to the test; I do not remember it exactly, but it included rules such as “do not drink coffee for X hours before your appointment.”

One of the values of knowing your resting metabolic rate to within a few tens of calories is to make weight-loss dieting less onerous. A daily 250 calorie deficit is fairly easy to sustain, and it’s roughly equivalent to a half-pound per week. A Body Gem test lets you know how just many calories, for your body, a 250 calorie deficit would be.
