KORR Resting Metabolic Rate Testing (RMR): $125/test
Discover the Science of Fat Loss and Muscle Gain.
Understanding your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the key to unlocking your full potential in any nutrition or fitness plan.
- Discover Your Metabolic Efficiency: Learn how effectively your body converts food into energy.
- Optimize Your Nutrition: Tailor your meals to match your goals, break through frustrating plateaus, and achieve sustainable results.
- Identify Metabolic Challenges: Detect signs of a slowed metabolism that might explain difficulties in losing weight or building muscle.
- Track Progress with Precision: Combine RMR testing with a DEXA scan to monitor how your diet impacts body fat, visceral fat, lean muscle, and bone health.
What is RMR Testing?
RMR testing measures the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cellular repair. This data provides valuable insight into your metabolism and serves as a foundation for creating effective, personalized nutrition and fitness plans.
Why is RMR Testing Important?
Knowing your RMR helps you determine your unique caloric needs, whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or maintenance. It also identifies how efficiently your metabolism is functioning, offering critical data for those on weight loss medications like Ozempic or paired with a trainer.
How is RMR Measured?
RMR testing is performed using a state-of-the-art breath analysis system. You’ll relax while breathing into a device that accurately calculates the oxygen you consume and the carbon dioxide you produce, which reflects your body’s energy expenditure.
RMR and DEXA Scan
When combined with a DEXA scan for body composition analysis, RMR testing offers a comprehensive picture of your health. The DEXA scan provides precise data on fat mass, visceral fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density, while the RMR test helps tailor caloric intake and expenditure for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How often should I test my RMR?
It’s recommended to test your RMR every 3–6 months, especially if your weight, activity level, or health goals change.
What’s the difference between RMR and a DEXA scan?
RMR testing measures how many calories you burn at rest, while a DEXA scan provides detailed body composition data (fat, muscle, and bone). Together, they give a comprehensive view of your metabolic and physical health.
How do I prepare for RMR testing?
To ensure accurate results:
- Fast for at least 5 hours before the test.
- Avoid caffeine, nicotine, or stimulants for 5 hours.
- Skip strenuous exercise for at least 12 hours before the test.
What can I expect during the test?
The test takes 15–20 minutes. You’ll breathe into a device while seated comfortably, and the results are reviewed with you immediately afterward.
