<p>Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) reflects the energy your body requires at rest, just to 'keep the lights on' so to speak, ie. to ensure that your heart keeps pumping blood around your body, your brain continues to function, your hormonal system produces the hormones to keep you alive, etc. &nbsp;To ensure that your body functions optimally, we need to know this figure as a starting point to determine how much energy your body needs each day to not just exist, but to really thrive, based on your level of activity. &nbsp;By providing your body with the right amount of energy at the right time of the day, you can ensure that you are getting the right balance of nutrients which will support your body's metabolism to function better, resulting in increased energy, better management of your weight and improved metabolic health markers such as blood sugar control, reducing your long term disease risk.</p>
