Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing in Dubai – Know Your True Calorie Needs

Performance Starts with Precision

At Metaboliqa, we offer advanced Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing in Dubai using clinical-grade technology to measure your body’s energy needs accurately. Whether you're trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or optimize your nutrition, knowing your RMR is the first step toward a personalized, effective plan.

What is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?

RMR refers to the amount of energy (calories) your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions like breathing, digestion, and cell repair. It makes up around 60–75% of your total daily calorie expenditure.

Knowing your RMR helps you:

​

  • Understand your daily calorie needs

  • Avoid under-eating or over-restricting

  • Create a personalized fat loss or muscle gain plan

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How is RMR different from BMR?
While both refer to calories burned at rest, RMR is more accurate as it accounts for minimal physical activity and real-life conditions.

​

Q2: Will I need to exercise during the test?
No. You’ll be lying still and relaxed for the entire duration.

​

Q3: How accurate is RMR testing?
RMR tests using indirect calorimetry are the gold standard—far more accurate than online calculators or fitness trackers.

​

Q4: Can this help with weight loss?
Absolutely. Knowing your true calorie needs helps avoid extreme diets and supports sustainable fat loss.

​

Q5: What should I do before the test?
Avoid food or caffeine for 6 hours before your appointment to ensure accurate results (You can continue medication (if any) and water as usual). No physical training 24 hours prior to the test.

​

Q6: How often should I test my RMR?
Every 4–6 months, or whenever your weight, activity level, or goals change significantly.
