Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and respiratory quotient

Very useful! Great video

Well that's an ego boost! Thanks. Also check out the follow-up video on non-steady state conditions.

Glad to hear it. RER can be a little confounding at first, but it is super interesting to see how we can get a sense of fuel usage by the body and fitness status from just analysis of respiratory gases during exercise.

thank you for the video, great for med students! the explanation reminded me exactly the key aspects of the logic behind everything

Hi Sarah, Great video. I've been on a weight cut since Jan 24th and recently got an IC done. The results were: RQ: 1.01, REE: 2080. VO2: 0.288L/min, VCO2: 0.292 L/min, CHO: 431 gr/day (86% / day), Fat:-29gr / day (-2% / day) Pro/day: 63gr/day (13%); My question is, is this good or bad for weight loss? I was wondering how, if at all, could I use my high carb RQ to determine insights into my diet and how I could further tailor my diet based on these results. For example, my average daily dietary carb consumption is roughly 140g /day. Given these results, can I eat 431 g / carbs per day and not worry about weight gain (this seems ridiculous)? Ty.

You are brilliant, tnx soooo much for this vid

[@michaelgonzalez9551]

I'snt there supposed to be a ratio of RER (0.8 RER) that indicates Muscle Protein is being used as Fuel? *Not an expert and just a guy asking :)

Why is it that you would need 23 oxygen molecules to get rid of the carbon in a fatty acid (which has 16C), while with a glucose which has 6C you need 6 Oxygen molecules? Makes absolutely no sense to me :(
