As a new user, you’ll be guided
through an interactive training
session, where you’ll use a
blank “training” cartridge.
This training helps familiarize
you with the measurement
process, before you take your
metabolism measurement
with a real sensor cartridge.
To start, tap “Metabolism.”

Some Things To Keep In Mind
Conditions for Resting Metabolism (REE) Measurement
Fasting Conditions: ✗
Wait at least 4 hours after eating a moderate meal.
Overnight fasting is preferred.
Exercise Conditions:
Wait at least 12 hours after strenuous exercise and at
least 4 hours after non-strenuous exercise. ✗
Resting Conditions:
Relax your body into a reclining position, with your head
held by a support (e.g. cushioned surface)
✔
Environmental Conditions:
Find a quiet, room-temperature (20-22° Celsius)
environment. Loud, sudden noises and extreme
(hot/cold) temperatures can affect your breathing and
measurement.
Note: If possible, use a heart rate monitor to ensure you are truly at your resting
physiological state
22
info@breezing.co
Take Metabolism Measurement
Tap “New Resting Measurement”
when you’re ready. Note: You
won’t start breathing just yet.
Resting measurement tracks your
resting metabolic rate (long-term).
Momentary
measurement tracks
your metabolic rate at
any moment (short-
term), such as before
and after exercise or
before and after a
large meal.

- Before you start, the App will
ask if the sensor cartridge’s
QR code has been scanned.
- For a first-time user, and for
every new pack of sensor
cartridges used, you should
scan the QR code.
- You don’t need to scan the
QR code each time. If you’re
a returning user and are
using sensor cartridges from
a pack that has already been
scanned, you can skip this
step.

Take Metabolism Measurement
For metabolism measurements, you’ll be using
real sensor cartridges. Unlike the training
cartridge, real sensor cartridges are
individually wrapped inside vacuum-sealed
packets, as they are highly sensitive (especially
to humidity).
You should only open the packet when you are
ready to take your metabolism measurement.
Before you open the packet, please read the
following guidelines for the measurement.

Resting metabolism (REE) tracking
The resting metabolism (REE) chart tracks
changes in your metabolism, and shows
whether your metabolism is above (high),
below (low), or within (normal) the
population average for your gender,
height, age, and weight.
Changes in resting metabolism (REE) of
about 20% are observed day-to-day, or
week-to-week, even without any dietary,
exercise, or lifestyle changes. That’s why
it’s recommended to take measurements
consistently at the same time of day
and under the same conditions. For
most people, this is in the morning, before
breakfast.

Resting metabolism (REE) tracking
You can rotate your phone/tablet to see your measurements in more detail.
36
info@breezing.co
Energy source (RQ) tracking
Energy source, also known as non-protein
Respiratory Quotient (RQ), tells you the main type of
nutrient your body is burning for energy.
RQ tells you whether you are burning mostly fat,
carbohydrates, or a mixture of both
Fats or carbohydrates can be reflected in the type of
diet you eat, or by the most available source of
energy in your body’s metabolic pathways (fat
storage/fat oxidation or glycogen storage/glycolysis).
Just as you can keep a fire burning with wood,
gasoline, or a combination of both, your metabolism
can be fueled by different sources of energy.

Weight, Activity, Caloric Balance
If you have entered today’s information in Weight/
Activity/Diet, you will see them in the results screen,
which shows the “history” of results.
• Weight: Displays your current weight. By tapping
on the “Weight” row, you’ll see a chart with
complete history of weight values
• Activity: Displays the total calories burned from
exercise today. The App will place you in a Physical
Activity Level (PAL) based on your recorded exercise
and your personal REE. By tapping on the “Activity”
row, you’ll see a chart with complete history of
activity values
• Caloric Balance: Displays today’s caloric difference
between your “calories in” (what you entered in
Diet) and your “calories out” (total energy
expenditure from metabolism and physical activity).
Loss/Gain/No Change shows whether you’re
following a weight loss, gain, or maintenance plan.

You can share the results
from the App via e-mail,
Facebook or Twitter.
E-mail will provide a personal

goals.
Facebook and Twitter will
display your Metabolism and

Troubleshoo3ng
considera3ons
Problems with connection between Breezing and phone/tablet? Check:
Are both the Breezing Device and the iPhone/iPad fully charged?
Is the iOS version 6.0 or later?
Irregular breathing messages or abnormal measurements? Check:
Is the inhalation valve opening while you are inhaling?
Is the exhalation valve opening while you are exhaling?
Are you using a nose clip or clamping your nose with your fingers at all times during the measurement? (this helps avoid
air leaks)
Are your lips sealed around the mouthpiece?
Are you inhaling and exhaling through your mouth?
Are you practicing breathing with a nose clip or clamped fingers before your measurement?
Are you in a resting position (e.g., relaxed and with head resting on a cushioned surface)?
Are you following the recommended metabolism measurement conditions (e.g. measurement before breakfast, non-
strenuous exercise prior to measurement)?
Cartridge Error messages? Check:
What does the error message say?
Used (when the cartridge has been exposed used or to air too long or when the sensor cap has not been used),
upside down (inserted in the wrong position),
training cartridge (instead of real cartridge)
For repeated “Used Cartridge” messages, the issue is most likely related to lighting. Cover the sensor cartridge with the
sensor cap and wait for the message “Relax and Start Breathing” before picking up the Breezing Tracker to breathe.
For repeated “Training Cartridge” messages, first power off the phone/tablet, re-start it, and log into the Breezing App. If
problem persists, create a new account and pass the training in the first try.
