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.
