Summary

This trial aims to study personalized weight management programs for healthy adults with and without obesity. The study will involve measuring participants' resting metabolic rate (RMR) at home using a portable device for 6

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 19-65 who are either classified as having obesity with a BMI of ≥30kg/m2 or not having obesity with a BMI <29.9kg/m2. Participants must be healthy adults willing to track their metabolism at home using the Breezing device weekly, keep a food diary, and wear an exercise monitor.
What is being tested?
The study tests how feasible and satisfying it is for participants to use the Breezing Portable Indirect Calorimeter at home over six weeks to measure their resting metabolic rate (RMR). It also examines how this self-monitoring relates to diet, physical activity, and psychological factors.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive monitoring of metabolism without any drugs or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects from the interventions being studied.
