Pre-RMR Instructions
In order to obtain optimal results, it is desirable to measure a person’s metabolic rate at a true resting level. To ensure one is at rest, we recommend the following preparation:
- Avoid eating a meal 4 hours before the test. Drink water and take any prescribed medications as usual.
- Avoid exercising on the day of testing. Fine to exercise afterwards.
- Avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine prior to testing.
- During the test, you will be sitting in a comfortable position. The environment will be calm so you can relax as much as possible.
- RMR testing takes 15 minutes, and the rest of the appointment time is for analysis, discussion and coming up with a plan of action to accomplish your nutrition goals with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN).
