Ditch the Guesswork: Discover Your True Resting Metabolic Rate with RMR Testing
Unlocking Your Metabolism: 10 Essential Questions About RMR
1. What is RMR?
RMR stands for Resting Metabolic Rate. It’s the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. Think of it as your body’s “idle” calorie burn.
2. Why is RMR important for weight loss?
Knowing your RMR is crucial for successful weight loss because it helps determine your daily calorie needs. Without this information, you might be underestimating or overestimating your intake, hindering your progress.
3. How is RMR different from BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is a more restrictive measurement taken under very specific conditions. RMR is slightly higher than BMR and easier to measure in a clinical setting, making it more practical for everyday use.
4. How is RMR measured?
At Theorem Metabolic, we use indirect calorimetry to measure your RMR. This non-invasive method analyses your breathing to determine your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, providing an accurate assessment of your calorie expenditure at rest.
5. What factors influence RMR?
Several factors can influence your RMR, including age, gender, body composition, genetics, and hormone levels.
6. How can I increase my RMR?
Building muscle mass through strength training is one of the most effective ways to increase your RMR. Other factors that can boost your metabolism include regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management.
7. How often should I get my RMR tested?
We recommend getting your RMR tested every 3-6 months, especially if you’re actively working towards weight loss or fitness goals. This allows us to track your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
8. How does RMR testing benefit athletes?
For athletes, RMR testing helps optimise calorie intake and macronutrient ratios for peak performance and recovery. It can also help identify potential metabolic inefficiencies that may be hindering progress.
9. Is RMR testing only for weight loss?
While RMR is crucial for weight management, it also provides valuable insights into your overall metabolic health. Understanding your RMR can help you make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle to improve your energy levels, hormonal balance, and overall well-being.

The Problem with “Average”
Most weight loss and fitness programmes rely on estimations and averages to determine your calorie needs and macronutrient ratios. But here’s the truth: your metabolism is unique. Relying on generic calculations can lead to:
- Frustrating plateaus: You’re working hard but not seeing the results you deserve.
- Inaccurate calorie targets: You might be eating too much or too little, hindering your progress.
- Suboptimal macronutrient ratios: Your body might need a different balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to thrive.
