Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the measurement of how much food, or energy (calories), are required to maintain basic functions like that of your heart, lungs, and brain while in a state of rest.
Everyone’s metabolic rate is highly unique and can change over time. There are so many individual factors that impact metabolic rate like: age, gender, body composition, hormones, medication use, activity levels and more.
Understanding your unique metabolic rate can help you increase athletic performance, overcome weight loss challenges and plateaus, increase lean muscle, or eat properly for overall health & longevity.

How to prepare for your RMR?
- Avoid eating a meal 4-6 hours before the test.
- Avoid exercising at least 12 hours before the test.
- Avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine 12 hours prior to testing.
- During the test it will be important to get into a comfortable position and relax as much as possible.
- Keep lips sealed lightly around the mouthpiece. It is important that all the air breathed out is analyzed by the MetaCheck™.
