Resting Metabolic Rate

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), also known as basal metabolic rate, is the number of calories your body requires to sustain life. Many people use RMR to gain a deeper understanding of their body’s fuel requirements and to gauge their daily dietary needs.

This highly accurate test allows people to dial in their caloric needs to lose weight at a healthy rate. It can also aid the finely-tuned athlete, operating on the razor’s edge, to sustain weight while focusing on the quality of their nutrition.

This test takes approximately 60 minutes and is done in a resting state. Subjects must have fasted for 6 hours, have not ingested caffeine for 4 hours, and should not have exercised a minimum of 12 hours prior to testing. Testing is best if done in the early morning.
