Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for an RMR test?
Fast for 4–6 hours before your appointment. Avoid exercise for 24 hours prior and skip caffeine the morning of your test.
How long does the RMR test take?
The measurement takes 15–20 minutes. Plan for 30–45 minutes total including results review with Jennah.
What does my RMR number tell me?
Your RMR is the exact number of calories your body burns at complete rest — your true metabolic floor.
Is RMR the same as BMR?
Closely related. BMR requires strict lab conditions. RMR is the clinical standard used in real-world metabolic testing.
Can RMR testing help with weight loss?
Yes — generic formulas can be off by 200–400+ calories per day. RMR testing eliminates the guesswork.
Can I combine RMR with VO2 Max testing?
Yes — the bundle is $250, saving $50 versus booking separately. It gives you the complete metabolic picture.
