RMR FAQs
A RMR is a gas chamber analysis that measures expired CO2 in order to determine your metabolic rate.
A RMR will tell you the amount of calories your body burns at rest, in a 24-hour period. This value is used to program your daily calories and macronutrients to achieve your goals.
Prep instructions are emailed prior to your appointment and below.
