Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
by Aegle Radiant Health in Topsham, Maine
Understanding your Resting Metabolic Rate, or RMR, can be an invaluable tool in optimizing weight management, your personalized nutrition, and overall well-being. Aegle Radiant Health utilizes the Korr CardioCoach Pro analysis system to professionally and accurately measure your individual resting metabolism.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Resting metabolic rate is the total number of calories burned when your body is completely at rest. RMR supports breathing, circulating blood, organ functions, and basic neurological functions. It is proportional to lean body mass and decreases approximately 0.01 kcal/min for each 1% increase in body fatness.
Process
Measuring your resting metabolic rate allows Dr. Cardella to help you construct an effective weight loss plan based on individual caloric needs. When RMR is combined with the VO2 Max analysis of calories burned during exercise, it is possible to create a more targeted and synchronized weight loss and nutrition plan for the most effective results.
