Resting Metabolic Rate

RMR

Resting Metabolic Rate

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest to maintain vital functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell repair. It often accounts for 60 to 75% of daily energy expenditure and is influenced by factors like muscle mass, age, hormones, and overall health. Measuring your RMR provides the foundation for setting accurate calorie targets and creating a nutrition or training plan that fits your unique physiology.

What results will the RMR test provide?

Through RMR testing, REACH Labs measures your body’s energy expenditure at rest and related metabolic data. This information is ideal for creating precise nutrition, training, and health strategies.
