Metabolic Rate Testing: The Missing Link in Weight Loss

If you're trying to lose weight but feel stuck—despite eating well and exercising regularly—you’re not alone. Many people in Long Island City and across Queens struggle with weight loss because they’re relying on generic calorie calculators and guesswork instead of personalized data.

At Recover Health, we offer Metabolic Rate Testing in Long Island City to take the mystery out of weight loss and help you build a plan based on your actual physiology, not estimates.

What Is Metabolic Rate Testing?

Metabolic Rate Testing, also known as Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing, measures how many calories your body burns at rest—doing things like breathing, digesting, and circulating blood. This number forms the foundation of your daily caloric needs.

Most online calculators are based on broad formulas using height, weight, age, and activity level. These can be off by 300–500 calories or more, which can completely derail your weight loss progress.

Why Your Metabolic Rate Matters for Weight Loss

Knowing your true resting metabolic rate gives you an edge. It helps you:

  • Set realistic, personalized calorie targets

  • Avoid under-eating or over-restricting (which can slow down metabolism)

  • Optimize fat loss while preserving muscle

  • Track metabolic changes as you lose weight

  • Break through frustrating plateaus

How Metabolic Testing Works at Recover Health

At Recover Health in Long Island City, our testing process is simple, accurate, and non-invasive.

🧪 Step-by-Step:

  1. Arrive Fasted (or 4+ hours after eating for best accuracy)

  2. Rest Comfortably While We Measure
    You’ll relax in a seated position, breathing into a special device for about 10–15 minutes. The test analyzes your oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output to determine your calorie burn rate at rest.

  3. Get Your Personalized Report
    You'll receive your exact Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), plus:

    • Daily calorie needs based on your activity level

    • Fat-burning vs. carb-burning tendencies

    • Nutritional strategies for weight loss or maintenance

  4. Optional Add-On: Nutrition or Training Consult
