This metabolic test measures the air you breathe out at rest. By measuring the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your exhaled air as well as noting age, biological sex and height the RMR test can give an accurate estimates of your resting meabolic rate (kcals you burn in a day at rest).
Because this test is designed to be administered at rest there is a strict pretest protocol including fasting for 12 hours and no exercise/movement for at least 12 hours. Any deviation from the pretest protocol can and will result in inaccurate estimates of your resting metabolic rate.
If following these pretest instructions and arriving early in the morning is not practical for you then the InBody770 can provide very accurate RMR estimates personalized for you without the extensive pretest preparations.
