What is a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test?
Your resting metabolic rate is the quantity of calories your body expends at rest to sustain important tasks like breathing, circulation, and cell creation. Unlike standard calorie calculators that rely on population averages, the RMR Test uses indirect calorimetry to directly evaluate your metabolism by analyzing your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide generation via a non-invasive breath test.
This test addresses the basic question, "How many calories does my body burn at rest?" Knowing your RMR is an important basis for anyone trying to:
Lose or control weight efficiently.
Improve athletic performance.
Create a tailored nutrition plan.
Prevent weight regain following dieting.
Identify slow or inhibited metabolism.

How The RMR Test Works
The RMR test is performed in a calm, relaxed state, usually in the morning or after a fast of 4–6 hours. You will lie comfortably while breathing into a metabolic analyzer via a small mouthpiece or mask for about 15-25 minutes.
During the tests:
To obtain an accurate measurement, you will stay comfortable and still.
The equipment measures your breath to determine your oxygen intake and CO₂ output.
These values are used to calculate your Resting Energy Expenditure (REE), which is the number of calories you burn while at rest.
The test is noninvasive and painless.
