- 01
Resting metabolic rate
The resting metabolic rate test measures how many calories your body burns at complete rest, through a non-invasive breathing analysis that calculates the oxygen you consume and the carbon dioxide you produce. It reflects the energy needed for breathing, circulation and cell production, with no physical activity included.
- 02
Basal metabolic rate
BMR is the same idea measured under stricter conditions: on waking, fasted, and completely still. AIWO's RMR testing estimates your BMR using established formulas that factor in age, sex, height and weight, giving a baseline for the minimum calories your body needs to function.
- 03
Calorie needs at rest
Knowing your resting energy expenditure tells you how many calories you would burn if you stayed at rest all day. That figure anchors every decision about intake, which is why a calorie needs test is the sensible first step before setting a target.
- 04
Nutritional recommendations
AIWO produces a personalised metabolism report and their clinicians will walk you through the results. A nutrition consultation with an AIWO doctor or dietitian turns the number into dietary and lifestyle guidance matched to your metabolism rather than to an online calculator.
How to prepare
Preparation is simple but it matters. A test done on a full stomach or after a hard session will read high and waste the appointment.
- Avoid eating a meal for four hours before the test
- Avoid exercising on the day of testing
- Avoid stimulants such as caffeine beforehand where possible
- Plan to arrive settled, since you will need to lie comfortably and relax as much as you can during the measurement
What happens on the day
Zen Vitals books your slot and confirms the time with AIWO. Arrive fifteen minutes before your appointment at AIWO's facility in Chennai. You lie down, a soft mask or mouthpiece collects your exhaled breath, and the machine records gas exchange while you rest quietly.
Nothing is injected and nothing is uncomfortable. The measurement itself takes a short period of still, quiet breathing, and the result is calculated immediately, so the metabolic rate assessment is discussed with you at the same visit rather than weeks later.
Who it suits
A metabolism test Chennai booking is worth making when you have a number in mind that you cannot verify.
- Anyone who has stalled on a diet and wants a weight management assessment based on measurement rather than estimate
- People who suspect their metabolism runs low, and want a metabolic health test to confirm or rule it out
- Athletes and heavy trainers using a fitness metabolism test to set intake for a training block
- Anyone building a personalized diet plan who wants the starting figure to be their own
- People adding energy expenditure testing to a wider metabolic assessment
What you get back
You receive a personalised metabolism report with your measured calorie burn assessment, the estimated BMR alongside it, and how both compare with predicted values for someone of your age and build. The gap between measured and predicted is often the most interesting line on the page.
AIWO's dietitian then uses the figures for personalized nutrition planning, setting intake for your goal and a sensible retest point. Because the measurement is repeatable, you can check later whether the plan changed your metabolism or only your patience.
