Personalized Calorie Blueprint – Learn exactly how many calories your body burns at rest and how to set nutrition targets around it

How is the RMR Test Conducted?

Wear a heart rate strap and breathing mask connected to our advanced metabolic cart.

You rest comfortably in a reclined position and breathe normally through a mouthpiece for 10–15 minutes while the analyzer measures your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output.

all your questions

A DEXA scan provides a clearer understanding of your body composition and skeletal health.

Prepare for Precision

Your RMR is sensitive to numerous factors like genetics, stress, and activity. Follow these pre-test instructions to get the most accurate results:
  • Fast for at least 5 hours (water only).
  • Avoid exercise and caffeine on test day.
  • Skip alcohol for 12 hours before the test.
  • Wear comfortable clothing; no special gear is required.
How Is RMR Measured?

Equations like the Harris-Benedict formula can offer estimates but lack precision, often varying by 30–40%. Direct testing, like our medical-grade RMR analysis, is the gold standard for accuracy.

What’s the Difference Between RMR and BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) measures calories burned to maintain basic life functions like breathing and circulation.

  • Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) includes BMR plus low-effort activities like eating or casual movement, providing a more comprehensive picture of daily calorie use.
  • Since BMR is harder to measure accurately, RMR serves as a more practical and insightful metric
What happens during an RMR Test?

You will arrive to the test center 15 minutes prior to your appointment having followed the proper pre-test protocols. Upon arrival, the center will provide any necessary paperwork and bring you back to their space where the test will be conducted. You will sit or lie comfortably, and the test operator will secure the RMR mask over your nose and mouth. The test lasts about 10-15 minutes, during which you will breathe normally. Your technician will monitor the quality of data being collected to ensure best results.Individual location process may vary

Can I Increase My RMR?

Yes! Diet and exercise play significant roles:

  • Try Interval Training: Switching up workouts keeps your body burning more calories throughout the day.
  • Boost Protein Intake: Foods high in protein require more energy to digest, naturally increasing your metabolic rate.
  • Never Skip Breakfast: Kickstart your metabolism each morning for better calorie-burning efficiency.

RMR test: common questions

How much does an RMR test cost?

$179, one-time. Includes the test, your personalized calorie report and access in the Dexaslim app.

How long does it take?

About 30 minutes total. You rest for 10–15 minutes while breathing through a mouthpiece; the remainder is setup and results review.

How should I prepare?

Fast for at least 4 hours (water is fine), avoid caffeine and nicotine for 4 hours, and skip exercise for 12 hours before the test. Morning appointments give the most reliable reading.

What will I learn?

Your measured resting metabolic rate in calories per day, how it compares to predicted values for your age, sex and body size, and a daily calorie target range for fat loss, maintenance or muscle gain.

Is it safe?

Yes. The test is completely non-invasive — you simply rest and breathe normally. There is no radiation and no exertion.

Should I pair it with a DEXA scan?

RMR tells you how many calories you burn; DEXA tells you how much of your weight is muscle versus fat. Together they let you set nutrition targets that protect lean mass. Many clients book both for the same visit.
