Had RMR and bod pod done. First time being done and is good to know IMO.
The rmr testing by itself was $55. The bodpod is $10/mo and can test once a month to check progress. For me the one time fee and monthly was worth it. It estimated me @11% faster than typical for age/height/weight.

And what do you do with that information?

You really don't understand data people do you LOL...numbers are power! Even if you only track them and look at them. They make really pretty charts and graphs....

But realistically, I use my RMR number to be OK with my current level of eating. I worry a little bit less about inaccuracies of my food logging because I have a 10% cushion over what the app is expecting. If it had come back 10% less than the norm, I would have adjusted my calorie targets downward.

This ^^.
The RMR was out of curiosity and more of a confirmation. Dont see doing it again. The bodpod is to track progress monthly. What better way to measure LBM/ fat and how it relates to diet. You can look accurately at how the changes effect your efforts. Nutrient timing etc.
not a dificult concept to understand, regardless if its something "you" would subscribe to.

Meanwhile tracking food+scale does the same thing, except more accurately.

No, it doesn't.

Like the previous poster said - you don't understand the data-driven mindset.

fair enough

It's a question of having the data, not doing something useful with it.

A bit like collecting china figurines
