I want to redo the body fat pod thingy in a few months, but hadn't thought much about redoing the metabolic rate analysis.
Agreed... I really wonder the same thing about myself.

I know I consume a lot of calories. Thus, it's not a mystery to me from a food consumption standpoint why I don't loose weight with my current exercise levels. However, at the same time it also blows my mind that I can maintain my weight as it would seem I still take in way more that my body puts out. I think the test would be worth it.
