Testing resting metabolic rate

I've been in a dreaded stall for months now, and I'm worried that my metabolism has crashed.  Does anyone know of a place in either Fair Oaks or Leesburg/Point of Rocks that does resting metabolic rate testing.  Because of years of yo-yo dieting, PCOS, and WLS, and the muscle that I've been building at the gym, I don't think that the online calculators will be very accurate for me, and I'd like a true measure.  I've already checked with my bariatric hospital and surgeon's office/Nutritionist, they don't do it.

Thanks,
Martie

Hi Martie,
I got mine done at the gym.  I'm a member of Lifetime Fitness, not sure where you live or what gym you belong to.
My surgeon's office also does it, may want to ask Dr Mo?
Good Luck
Amanda

I have had mine done at my gym also.  My employer has a gym staffed by NIFS and they do it for free for us.  Check with your surgeon or local gym as Amanda has stated!  I also had PCOS and when I hit stalls I just changed some things up...more water and protein and different exercises.
