RMR testing will help you understand your baseline metabolism. This is the number of calories your body burns to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest. This information is valuable to you in a number of ways:

  1. Helps you know how many calories you need to consume to lose, gain or maintain your current weight.
  2. Helps with dietary planning.
