Understand your Metabolism

what is RMR Testing?

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the calories your body burns at rest for essential functions like breathing and circulation.

Why Measure Your Actual RMR?

Generic formulas often miss the mark. We use precise technology to measure your actual RMR, providing real numbers, not guesses, for truly personalized nutrition and training.

How Does the Test Work?

Our RMR test is simple, non-invasive, and takes about 30 minutes:

  1. Pre-Test Preparation: Arrive fasted and well-rested.

  2. Simple Testing Process: Lie back comfortably while we measure your breathing to calculate your RMR.

  3. Personalised Report & Guidance: Get an instant report and discuss your results and next steps with an expert coach.

Resting Metabolic Rate

Data you’ll recieve:

With your measured RMR, you'll gain invaluable insights, including:

  • Your Actual RMR: The precise number of calories you burn at rest.

  • Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) Estimate: An estimate of your total daily calorie needs based on your RMR and activity levels.

  • Custom Macronutrient Breakdown: Tailored protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets designed specifically for your body and goals.

  • Practical Nutrition Advice: Simple, realistic suggestions to help you fuel better and perform better.

  • Example Insights: You'll understand how efficiently your body burns fat versus carbohydrates at rest, how to adjust calorie intake for various goals, and recommendations to improve your metabolic efficiency.

Knowing your RMR takes the guesswork out of your nutrition, allowing you to optimize your calorie intake for fat loss, muscle gain, improved performance, and overall metabolic health.
