At my gym, I paid $40 last year for a Resting Metabolic Rate test- showed up in the morning without having eaten, exercised, or expended any sort of serious energy. I clipped my nose off and breather into a device hooked up to a PC that measures oxygen burn rate and whatever else it captures. After a 10-15 minute seated and resting baseline period, the actual test took another 10-15 minutes.
Anyway, long story short, it came up with 1,410 calories/day, doing nothing but living and breathing. I'm 5'8", 165lbs, and 31 at the time (and before I had any muscle on me at all). Online calculators put me in the 1,500-1,600/day range.

Sorry to bump an old thread - but I noticed you are in the Dallas area, and I've been considering doing a RMR test like that just to see what it shows. Can you tell me where you got yours done?
Thanks.

I'd say check out Lifetime Fitness. Not sure what part of Dallas you're in, but the branch I used to go to was in Colleyville.

I was thinking they would have it. I do belong to Lifetime Fitness (I go to one in Plano), but I usually just go straight to the weights, do my thing, and head out. I've never checked into their assessment stuff...
Will have to look into it. Thanks!

I never checked to see if they had anything like that, but with everything else they offer, I'd say the chances are pretty good 
Man, I miss that place.
