Resting Metabolic Rate Testing

RMR Testing

A resting metabolic rate (RMR) test is a procedure used to measure the number of calories your body burns while at rest. During the test, you relax in a comfortable environment, typically sitting or lying down, while wearing a mask connected to a machine that measures the amount of oxygen you consume and the carbon dioxide you produce.

This allows the equipment to provide your RMR, which is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell repair. Knowing your RMR can help you understand your unique calorie needs for weight management, nutrition planning, and optimizing fitness goals. The test is simple, painless, and typically takes around 10 to 30 minutes to complete.
