Resting Metabolic
Rate Testing NYC

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing with NYC Registered Dietitian

Identify whether you have a fast or slow metabolism. Determine the calories you burn each day — on resting and exercise days — to reach and maintain your healthiest weight. Identify the minimum number of calories needed without slowing down your metabolism. Optimize your metabolism with an individualized nutrition plan. 

RMR Testing for Weight Loss, Sports Performance, Obesity, and Obesity-related Diseases

Everybody talks about metabolism, but few of us really understand how our own metabolisms work. Metabolism is, in the most simple terms, what converts food and nutrients into energy. It’s on 24 hours a day/7 days a week. It’s an internal process in our bodies that determines how many calories we burn.

How fast, average, or slow your metabolism works is determined mostly by genes. We all have a friend that can down a large pizza and cheesecake, and they don’t gain a pound. Thinness, though, doesn’t equate health. And a fast metabolism can keep thin people deceptively unhealthy.

Body composition, gender, age, and hormones also play a role in our metabolism. Differences in metabolism are seen, often, in how easy it is to lose or gain weight. Those with slower metabolisms might struggle to lose weight, whereas those with fast metabolisms struggle to gain weight.

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the minimum amount of calories your body needs to keep functioning. This is pretty significant, as it will determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Testing your RMR using a device called the ReeVue® can give our RDNs an accurate measurement of your calorie needs for weight loss, gain, maintenance, or improved sports performance. The information obtained helps us create a tailor-made program according to your individual needs.

With your RMR, our RDNs have the details to create a plan for your metabolism and body composition. You might need to increase your activity level. Or, you might need to adjust your nutrition. By using ReeVue® resting metabolic rate testing, we can identify what your body needs to gain or lose weight.

Why measure your resting metabolic rate?

Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing

As NYC Certified Nutritionists, we believe that your metabolism is as unique as your fingerprint. Most people rely on generic online calculators that use outdated formulas to estimate calorie needs. At our practice, we use clinical-grade RMR testing to provide you with the exact data needed to master your weight and performance.

  • Know Your “Magic Number”: Discover exactly how many calories your body burns at rest. This is the baseline required to sustain vital functions like breathing and heart rate.
  • End the “Slow Metabolism” Mystery: Stop wondering if your metabolism is sluggish. RMR testing provides objective data to see if your metabolic rate has been impacted by age, dieting history, or hormonal shifts.
  • Eat for Your Goals—Scientifically: Whether you want to lose fat, maintain weight, or fuel for a marathon, we use your RMR to calculate a precise caloric range that prevents under-eating or over-eating.
  • Identify Metabolic Efficiency: Understand if your body is primarily burning fats or carbohydrates at rest, allowing us to fine-tune your macronutrient (protein, carb, fat) ratios.
  • Protect Your Muscle Mass: Ensure your weight loss comes from fat, not muscle. By knowing your RMR, we can create a deficit that is aggressive enough to see results but conservative enough to spare your hard-earned muscle.
  • Monitor Nutritional Interventions: As you change your diet or exercise routine, we use follow-up RMR tests to see exactly how your metabolism is adapting in real-time.

The Personalized Blueprint You’ve Been Missing

We combine your RMR results with a functional nutrition approach to build a sustainable lifestyle. No more “one-size-fits-all” meal plans—just evidence-based science tailored to your body’s specific energy demands.

  • Identify Your Metabolic Speed: Determine objectively if you have a fast or slow metabolism, removing the guesswork from your health journey.

  • Define Your Daily Fueling Needs: Calculate the precise number of calories you burn on both rest days and exercise days to reach and maintain your healthiest weight.

Testimonials

Angie

I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Steinberg, Registered Dietitian over a period of 6 months. We met weekly to come up with personal health habits and fun meal ideas. What began as me wanting to lose some weight really ended up becoming a process of self-love and creating daily eating habits I could live with long-term. Cassie was creative and kind. She helped me in so many ways to accept the body I have and to nourish it daily. I highly recommend her as a Dietitian and body image guru

Hope

Working with NY Nutrition Group was the best decision I ever made! Lisa Moskovitz is an expert in intuitive eating and eating disorders. She is truly the only person that has been able to help my eating disorder recovery. Lisa is very kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend to anyone looking for support – Hope S.

Liz

Loving my appointments with NY Nutrition Group. They take a wholistic approach to your nutrition and health, instead of just telling you what food groups to put on your plate or to simply cut out entire foods. I better understand how food works in my body in coordination with activity, sleep, mental health and overall health and wellness. I’m so glad I found them. They are helping me heal and improve my relationship with food and my body

Zahra

I’ve had the pleasure of working with two outstanding nutritionists. My former nutritionist left during COVID. Since then, I’ve been working with Julia DiPietrantonio. Julia is culturally competent, which is very important to me … If you’re looking to gain confidence not just a sense of control over your relationship with food, Julia is a great partner. I really appreciate NYNG, and I hope they continue to see cultural competency as a key pillar of their platform – Zahra Marie

Maria

I have had the pleasure of working with Jeanne for a couple of months now and I’ve never felt better. Since I first started working with her she listened to all my goals and always gave me the best guidance and recommendations to meet my goals. I’ve noticed that I make wiser nutrition decisions since working with her and value the sessions we have

Angelica

Have been working with Lisa for 9 months and am very pleased with the experience. I’ve seen progress toward my goals, but more importantly, the way that Lisa frames progress is holistic, balanced, and not overly obsessed with the scale. I’m grateful to have someone to share my stressors and disappointments through the process who has the knowledge and perspective to help assuage them. I’ve never once felt like I was being pushed into unsustainable habits or behaviors that are isolating. A great person to add to your care team if you want to build a healthy, realistic relationship with food and your body!
