Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing
An RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) test measures how many calories your body burns at rest to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. Understanding your RMR provides the foundation for effective weight management, nutrition planning, and metabolic health strategies.
Why It Matters:
- Determine your true daily calorie needs for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain
- Personalize your nutrition and exercise plans based on real metabolic data
- Uncover possible reasons for stalled weight loss or unexpected weight changes
- Monitor metabolic changes over time with precise, science-based measurements
How to Prepare:
- Fast for at least 4 hours before the test (water is okay)
- Avoid exercise for at least 12 hours prior
- No caffeine, stimulants, or alcohol for at least 4 hours before testing
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to relax during the assessment
During the test, you will recline or sit comfortably while wearing a mask that measures your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production at rest. It’s a non-invasive, relaxed procedure requiring minimal physical effort — just normal breathing.
The session is scheduled for 45–60 minutes, with the test itself taking about 20–30 minutes.
Come ready to sit back, relax, and discover exactly how your body fuels itself — a critical piece of the puzzle for reaching your health and fitness goals!
