Metabolic testing measures your resting metabolic rate (RMR).

Your RMR represents the calories your body uses to maintain vital body functions (heart rate, brain function and breathing). In simple terms, it is the number of calories a person would burn if awake, but at rest, all day without activity or exercise.

The higher your resting metabolic rate, the more calories you burn. This test is a great way to measure the effectiveness of your current nutrition and exercise program. No more averages or guessing about how many calories you should consume.
