Anyone who wants a measured starting point for energy needs at rest — endurance athletes planning fuelling, people adjusting their nutrition, and anyone who wants context beyond a formula estimate.
Your daily energy needs also include everyday activity, exercise and the energy used in processing food. The resting result should not be treated as a universal calorie target or used alone to set an aggressive restriction.
We allow time to settle and take resting measurements while you lie quietly. The 45-minute appointment includes setup and a discussion of the findings. Morning appointments are recommended in the portal.
We explain the resting-energy result and the limits of interpretation. If you are working with a dietitian or another qualified professional, it can provide useful context for a broader nutrition plan.
Eating, caffeine, exercise and other factors can affect resting measurements. Follow the fasting and preparation instructions provided for your booking. Exercise-test preparation is different, so do not apply generic testing instructions to RMR.
Read and follow the specific fasting instructions in your confirmation. Contact us before booking if fasting may be unsuitable for you. Do not stop or change prescribed medication without advice from the professional managing it.
