Approx. 45 minutes

Objective information, explained clearly.

  • Resting energy expenditure while your body is at rest.
  • Measured metabolic information rather than relying only on predictive equations.
  • A baseline that can be interpreted alongside goals, lifestyle and wider context.

From measurement to meaning.

  • Your measured resting metabolic rate.
  • How that number can inform a more realistic view of daily energy requirements.
  • Where metabolism data fits within health, training or nutrition decisions.

Useful for more than one type of client.

People who want less guesswork around energy needs.

Clients working with coaches or nutrition professionals.

Anyone wanting a measured metabolic baseline before making changes.

01

Pre-assessment information is provided before the appointment.

02

You rest while HSL measures your resting metabolic rate.

03

Your result is explained in context rather than handed over as a standalone number.

Data means nothing without context.

Your results are reported, explained and translated into practical recommendations where appropriate.

  • Measured resting metabolic rate
  • Energy-expenditure context
  • HSL report and explanation
  • Consultation to help interpret the result
  • Practical next steps where appropriate

Context

A simplified example of how measured resting energy expenditure can replace assumptions with clearer metabolic context.

Guidance before you test.

HSL will provide the relevant preparation information before your appointment. This page does not define final preparation instructions.

Appropriate screening first.

Pre-assessment screening is completed before physiological testing so the appointment can be planned appropriately.

Measure what changed.

Where appropriate, retesting after around 8-12 weeks can help objectively assess adaptation and progress.

Is this a weight-loss test?

No. It measures resting energy expenditure. The value is in understanding metabolism more clearly, not promising a specific outcome.

Why measure instead of estimate?

Predictive equations can be useful, but direct measurement gives a more individual starting point.

Will I receive preparation guidance?

Yes. HSL will provide relevant preparation instructions before your appointment.
