Why have a Resting Metabolic test?

Historically, this sort of testing has been the preserve of elite athletes due to the costs. Vida Care want to make it more accessible to everyone.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR): Testing this aspect of your metabolism provides information about the estimated number of calories you burn when your body is at rest, when you’re not exercising or moving.

Metabolic rate is a measure of how quickly your body expends energy. This is also referred to as your “caloric burn rate”. Resting metabolic rate testing shows how many calories your body burns at rest, giving you the data you need to plan a weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance plan designed to succeed

Your metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions in your body. It is the process by which your body turns what you eat and drink into energy. You need that energy to move, digest food, keep warm, breathe and even think. The whole process is known as your basal metabolic rate.

How that metabolic rate works, and how much energy it uses itself, is determined by a number of factors, including your size, build, gender and age. Body composition changes, activity levels and diet can also have an influence.

Knowing how many calories you actually need at rest, rather than guesstimating based on age, gender, height and weight, is key when training if you’re aiming for a calorie deficit or surplus. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight and therefore if you eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight.
