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.
