RMR Testing

gp79

I had a Resting Metabolic Rate test performed today and I must say it was nice to see specifically how many calories your body burns at rest in comparison to MFP or other online calculators.

If anyone else has had this test performed, I'm interested in hearing about what you learned and how the results differed from MFP guidelines.

I've written a short blog about my general findings if anyone's interested.

Do you have a link to the blog? Apparently I can't find it... Weird.

Ah, figures it's as easy as filling in the username. Thanks!!

Love the idea of "fitographer." Puns are my favorite. If you do end up back in Wyoming and want to go on a photo expedition, look me up!

What units is your VO2max estimate measured in? Do you know whether they calculated your VO2max or VO2peak?

I did RMR testing too and since doing so have dieted much more effectively, ending a four month plateau. It was totally worth doing in my case.

It was a Vo2 Max Test, measured in ml/kg/min.
