RMR Testing | Nutritik Performance

Determination of Resting Metabolic Rate

Have you tried to lose weight and can't?

Want to know how fast your metabolism is?

Maybe you're consuming less than you thought and that's why everything you tried didn't work?

The RMR test will answer all these questions.

WHAT IS IT?

It is one of the easiest tests to perform. You just lie down for 15 minutes with a plastic mask over your face, breathing normally.

It's the gold standard that helps us find out how much energy you consume at total rest. From here we can determine how much food you can eat daily for your goals.

why do it?

If you want to lose weight, don't rely on equations to estimate your resting metabolic rate (RMR) because they can be inaccurate. It's better to measure your actual energy consumption.

If you want to gain weight, knowing your exact RMR helps you figure out how many extra calories you need to eat.

who benefits from it?

Everyone, both athletes and the general population.

If for the general population we have listed two of the most common objectives encountered (weight loss & weight gain), for athletes it is important to know the value of resting consumption to avoid undernutrition (eating less than "burns") and recover optimally (from an energetic point of view).

Results analysis & full report include:

daily energy requirements (kcal/day)

rate of carbohydrate & fat utilization at rest
- a healthy person (both athlete and general population), should consume about 70% fat and 30% carbohydrates at rest. If the ratio is different, i.e. you will consume more carbohydrates at rest, it means that your food intake is poor quality and there is a risk of developing health problems (diabetes)
- for athletes this aspect is important because during the effort, the primary source of energy will be carbohydrates, and if they are also used at rest, it means that there are "leaks from the tank" and fatigue will set in more quickly during the effort

how fast your metabolism is - if you've been trying to lose weight and noticed the weight has stagnated, a RMR can tell you if it's slow or not. We can determine a nutritional & physical strategy that will help you eat more and, implicitly, lose weight
