Why Is It Important to Calculate your RMR?

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns while awake in a normal rested state (i.e. relaxing in a comfortable chair). Your RMR is an extremely important number for planning your diet & training. Using RMR as a baseline, you can then adjust your caloric intake up or down based on your level of activity and body composition goals. Trying to shed bodyfat? Consume calories below your maintenance activity-adjusted RMR number. Want to pack on muscle? You’ll need to be consuming calories at a surplus. Whether you're refining your training, exploring fasting protocols, or seeking a deeper understanding of your body's needs, our RMR test offers the data you need to make rapid progress.

Understanding your RMR empowers you to personalize your nutrition and training for vastly Accelerated results

A 30-Minute Rest can give you the KEYS TO Better Health and DIET SUCCESS

Many diets fail because they don’t factor in individual metabolic differences. Trying to gain or lose weight without knowing your true baseline calorie expenditure is like painting with a broom — you can go through the motions and make progress but the lack of precision makes it so much harder to achieve your goals.
Your RMR also changes over time based on factors like age, body composition, medical conditions (such as thyroid disorders), and lifestyle. By establishing a baseline now, you can better understand how your metabolic function is impacted by future life events.

BEYOND JUST RMR

NYC Performance Lab offers the most comfortable and advanced RMR test available, using a cutting-edge wireless mask and proven measurement protocol. This is the same technology used by the the world’s top elite athletes and research institutions.
In addition to measuring your RMR and benchmarking your metabolism speed, our RMR assessment also offers clinical grade direct measurement of your resting heart rate (RHR), and heart rate variability (HRV). These metrics are often approximated by wearables like the Apple Watch and Oura Ring, which are far less precise. Our clients are often surprised to see how significant the difference is between the estimates they’ve been relying on and the directly measured data.
By getting definitive data on your RMR, RHR, and HRV, you’ll come away with a robust picture of your your overall health and readiness including metabolic function, cardiovascular fitness, stress levels, and autonomic nervous system balance.
