What we measure

Resting Metabolic Rate

Calories your body burns at rest — not an estimate. RMR in kcal/day, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production at rest. Direct measurement, not calculated from a formula.

Respiratory Quotient

What fuel your body is burning at rest. RQ near 0.7 indicates primarily fat burning. RQ near 1.0 indicates primarily carbohydrate burning. An indicator of metabolic flexibility and diet adherence.

Daily Energy Targets

Total Daily Energy Expenditure estimate, calorie targets for body composition goals, starting macronutrient framework, and comparison to predicted formula values.

How it works

01 Arrive Fasted: Come at least 4 hours without food or caffeinated drinks. Avoid intense exercise for 12 hours before. Rest briefly before we begin.

02 Breathe at Rest: Sit or lie still while breathing through the KORR CardioCoach Max mask for 20–30 minutes. No effort required — this is a resting measurement.

03 Results: Your RMR, respiratory quotient and daily energy targets are reviewed with you immediately. Written report with actionable nutrition guidance.

Equipment: KORR CardioCoach Max — indirect calorimetry measuring oxygen and CO₂ at rest.

Frequently asked questions

What is resting metabolic rate?

RMR is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest. It accounts for roughly 60–75% of total daily energy expenditure for most people.

Why not just use an online calculator?

Online calculators are population averages. Individual metabolisms can vary by 300–500 kcal/day from any formula. The KORR CardioCoach Max measures your actual metabolism directly.

What should I do to prepare?

Fast for at least 4 hours (no food, no caffeinated drinks). Avoid intense exercise for 12 hours before. Arrive and rest for 10–15 minutes before the test begins.

How much does it cost?

£135 for the full session at UNTIL Liverpool Street or UNTIL Marylebone, London.
