Gain Control Over Your Health: The Vital Role of Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Tests
Understanding your body’s metabolism is key to lasting health. At Eatuitive Nutrition, we take a science-based, personalized approach that helps you make decisions grounded in real data — not guesswork.
What Is a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test?
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) represents the number of calories your body burns at rest to keep vital systems running. Knowing your RMR provides the foundation for a customized plan that integrates nutrition, fitness, and recovery — the cornerstone of our holistic programs.
Why Knowing Your RMR Matters
An RMR test empowers you to understand your metabolism and fuel your body accordingly.
Our Calgary dietitians and nutritionists use this data to build truly personalized strategies that:
Prevent under-eating or overtraining.
Align calorie intake with your metabolic needs.
Support sustainable weight and performance goals.
How an RMR Test Works
You’ll rest comfortably while breathing into a metabolic cart that measures your oxygen use. The process takes 10 minutes and is completely safe.
Preparation tips:
Fast for 4 hours before your appointment.
Avoid caffeine and exercise beforehand.
Rest quietly before testing for accurate results.
You can book testing directly through our metabolic and composition testing page.
Integrating RMR Results into Your Fitness Plan
Once your RMR is established, our team combines it with your activity level to calculate total daily energy expenditure. This guides your nutrition and training programs with precision.
We also offer personal training led by our certified dietitian–trainer for clients who want to apply their metabolic data to real workouts.
