Metabolic Rate is a measure of how quickly your body expends energy – your ‘caloric burn rate’.
Resting metabolic rate testing determines how many calories your body burns at rest, giving you the information required to plan a successful weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance plan to properly fuel yourself.
Please adhere to the following recommendations prior to your test to optimize your test results:
- Do not eat, exercise, or drink coffee or alcohol for 5 hours prior
