RMR Metabolism Test in Portland, Oregon
The calorie number your plan is missing.
Even sitting still, your body is spending energy every minute of the day. A Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test at DexaFit Portland measures how many calories your body actually needs to keep itself running, so your nutrition, fat loss, and training start from fact instead of a guess.
Once you know that figure, you can match your eating and your workouts to it: gain lean muscle, shed the fat you want gone, and move your health in the right direction.

What does an RMR test measure, and how is it done?
An RMR test reads your Resting Metabolic Rate, the energy your body spends keeping the essentials going, such as breathing, circulation, and tissue repair. Seated and at rest, you breathe normally into a mask while the system tracks how much energy you use through breath analysis. It's a direct read on how your body uses energy when you're still.
Why is my RMR number worth knowing?
Your RMR accounts for roughly 70% of the energy you use in a day. Pin it down and you have the most accurate starting point for your calorie targets, whether the goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or holding steady. It's the foundation your nutrition plan should rest on.
What should I do to prepare?
Hold off on food for at least five hours, keep movement easy before you arrive, and steer clear of caffeine and other stimulants, so your body reaches a genuine resting state.
RMR or BMR, what sets them apart?
BMR captures the bare floor your body needs at total rest. RMR folds in light everyday activity on top of that, which makes it a closer match to the calories your daily life actually demands.
Is a measured RMR really better than an online calculator?
By a wide margin. Formula and app estimates can miss by 20 to 30%. Measuring your metabolism directly through breath analysis takes the guesswork out of the number.
What numbers come back from the test?
Your Resting Metabolic Rate, your Respiratory Exchange Ratio (whether you lean toward burning fat or carbohydrate), your resting heart rate, and your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, which pairs your RMR with the energy you spend on movement and daily activity.
Can I push my RMR higher?
Yes. Adding muscle, training in intervals, and eating more protein all move it, because muscle tissue and protein digestion each cost more energy. A retest tells you whether the changes are landing.
