What is Assessed with RMR at Eatuitive Nutrition?

At Eatuitive Nutrition in Calgary, we leverage advanced technology to offer precise and personalized health assessments. Our Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test, provides a detailed view of your metabolic health, empowering you with the knowledge to optimize your diet and exercise routines. This article will explore the various aspects of what is assessed during an RMR test and how it can benefit your health and fitness journey.

What is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the amount of energy (in calories) your body burns while at rest. It represents the minimum energy required to maintain vital bodily functions such as breathing, circulation, and cellular production. Understanding your RMR can help you and your healthcare provider develop a more accurate and effective health and nutrition plan.

How is RMR Measured?

At Eatuitive Nutrition, we measure RMR through a non-invasive procedure. This method involves breathing into a mask connected to our PNOE device, which analyzes the composition of your breath to determine how much oxygen your body consumes and how much carbon dioxide it produces at rest. This data is crucial in calculating your metabolic rate accurately.

Components of the RMR Assessment

Comprehensive Metabolic Report

1. Caloric Burn Analysis: Understand how many calories your body burns at rest, providing a baseline for your nutritional needs.
2. Metabolic Efficiency: Gain insights into how well your body converts food into energy.
3. Respiratory Quotient: Learn about your body's primary energy sources (fats or carbohydrates), which is vital for tailoring your diet.

Biomarker Insights

With PNOE sensors, our RMR test assesses 23 different biomarkers, including:

• Oxygen uptake
