We believe in the power of food to make you well, strong, satisfied, healthy, energetic, and happy.

Metabolism test
Do you ever wonder about your metabolism? Have it tested and find out exactly what your resting metabolism measures. Triangle Nutrition Therapy offers quick, accurate metabolism tests for only $60.00. Metabolism test appointments are 30 minutes.
Since your resting metabolic rate (RMR) accounts for up to 70 – 75% of the total calories needed each day, it’s a critical piece of information in understanding your daily calorie needs. Triangle Nutrition Therapy uses the BodyGem device to provide information that’s vital for determining individual metabolism. Once we’ve determined your RMR, we can more accurately assess your nutrition needs and help you maintain proper weight and nutrition.
