Resting (Basal) Metabolic Rate Testing (RMR)

The resting metabolic rate test, a 15-minute non-invasive assessment, uses pioneering technology to determine how many calories your body burns while at rest. The results of this test are fundamental to estimate how many calories you should be eating and imperative for those trying to manage their weight, especially if you have been unable to achieve results with proper exercise and dietary management in the past.

At the conclusion of the test, you will meet with your Registered Dietitian to revise your current dietary intake to help you achieve your goals while taking into consideration your metabolic needs.

The title Registered Dietitian and Dietitian are protected by law, through provincial legislation so that only qualified practitioners who have met education qualifications can use the title.

A Registered Dietitian, Dietitian Professional or Dietitian is a health professional who has a Bachelor’s degree specializing in food and nutrition along with the completion of practical training in a hospital or community setting. Many dietitians further their education by pursuing a Master’s or Doctoral degree.

Dieticians are members of a provincial regulated profession that have public protection as their mandate. Dietitians are held accountable for all their conduct and care they provide.

The term Nutritionist is not protected by law in all provinces so people with different levels of training and knowledge can call themselves a Nutritionist. A variety of titles have been used by unqualified people to describe their involvement in nutrition related practice. Many use the term “registered” with a variation of “nutrition” as a title.
