What is your RMR and why it matters....

Your resting metabolic rate or(RMR) is the energy required by your body to perform vital functions such as respiration and heart rate while your body is at rest. It's not quite a simple scenario where everyone fits into the same numbers. Your individual daily caloric needs are based on your activity level. BodyGem is a device you can use at home to gauge the amount of energy needed just to function each day, which translates into a more accurate indicator of the number of calories your body needs.

MedGem is a similar product but it's designed for professionals for nutritionists and health club operators as well as others in the diet/exercise industry. Additional devices like Futrex are designed to analyze your body composition, which is also a factor when it comes to knowing how much you need to take in to maintain your weight or how much you need to take in to lose weight. This leads to a more personalized approach for you.
