Resting Metabolic Rate Test

What is a Resting Metabolic Test?

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories required by the body to maintain basic functions such as heartbeat, breathing, temperature regulation, and brain activity. A standard RMR test with a Fitnescity partner involves using a metabolic cart and indirect calorimetry, the clinically recommended and industry reference standard of testing, to measure the number of calories burned per day at rest. Whether your goal is to lose, gain, or maintain weight, this information is extremely valuable for designing a personalized weight management program.
