The misunderstanding and miscalculation of fat and carbohydrate oxidation rates
The formulas widely used to calculate fat oxidation (FATox) in grams per minute and carbohydrate oxidation (CHOox) in grams per minute are the following: FATox (g/min) = 1.67 x VO2 (L/min) – 1.67 x VCO2 (L/min) CHOox (g/min) = 4.55 x VCO2 (L/min) – 3.21 x VO2 (L/min) VO2 and VCO2 are placeholders for the…
