I went to Northwestern and had mine done, it was about $95. It measured the amount of CO2 my body produced over a 10 minute period while I was very relaxed. I would say its an accurate test.
MFP had my RMR at 1800 based on my measurements and the RMR test had me at 1680. Considering I had been on a deficit for 4 weeks when I took the test it lined up with my expectations.
Also... it turned out that the RMR the machine came up with, is what a calculated RMR would be for my goal weight. Seems my body is programed to operate as if I was lower weight.0
