RMR Test

Understand exactly how many calories your body burns at rest. Our precise RMR test gives you a personalised baseline to optimise your nutrition, weight management, and fitness programme.

What is Resting Metabolic Rate?

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories the body needs to perform basic functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production while at rest. It represents the minimum amount of energy required each day, even if you're not moving around.

Why Take an RMR Test?

Tailored Nutrition Plans: RMR testing enables the creation of detailed nutrition plans by establishing the number of Calories an individual requires. This personalised approach can be more effective in achieving weight management goals.

Optimising Weight Loss or Gain: RMR data helps in determining the ideal caloric intake for weight loss or muscle gain, allowing for more precise and sustainable results.

Fitness Program Optimisation: Incorporating RMR into fitness planning ensures that exercise routines are aligned with energy expenditure, enhancing the efficiency of workouts for achieving specific goals.
