Resting Metabolic Rate Testing

Understand your body's unique energy needs with our Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing. This simple, non-invasive test measures the calories your body burns at rest, providing the foundation for effective nutrition and weight management.

Why it Matters: Your RMR is a key factor in weight gain, loss, and maintenance. Generic calorie calculators are often inaccurate, but RMR testing gives you your body's exact metabolic fingerprint.

What You Get: A personalised report showing your precise RMR, which is essential for creating a targeted nutrition plan. Use this information to optimise your diet, achieve healthy weight management, and make informed decisions about your caloric intake.

Our Technology: The VO2 Master Analyser

For your RMR test, we use the VO2 Master Analyser. Its simple setup and user-friendly design allow for a quick and comfortable assessment. You simply relax and breathe normally into the device, and it accurately measures your oxygen consumption and caloric expenditure at rest, providing the precise metabolic data needed for your nutritional planning.
