Metabolic Testing
Have you ever wondered exactly how many calories your
body needs to lose or gain weight or to maintain your nutrition
and fitness needs? Trying to manage weight without an accurate
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is like balancing a checkbook
without knowing how much money is being spent. Knowing your
resting metabolic rate is the key managing your weight and
fitness goals.
The Rite Bite proudly features the Med Gem ™ Metabolic
Training System to help determine our clients’ unique
metabolism. From this assessment, you will know exactly how
many calories you should consume each day in order to meet
your goals. Since metabolism can change over time, understanding
your unique metabolism is essential for management of weight
and general fitness.
What is metabolism and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?
Metabolism is the conversion of food into energy which is
then used to maintain bodily processes and to provide fuel
for activity. Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number
of calories you burn while you are at rest and not exerting
extra energy. RMR typically accounts for 60-70% of your daily
energy expenditure. Exercise and daily activity account for
about 20-30% and the digestion of food accounts for about
10% of your daily energy expenditure.
