Anyone tracking actual metabolic rate on GLP-1s, not just the scale?

My scale has basically been moving but my resting heart rate trend is up like 4 to 5 bpm and my HRV is kinda flat, which has me a little worried I am losing muscle along with fat on tirz.

I started paying attention because my whoop said I was burning fewer daily calories than before meds, even on days I walked 10k steps. That part honestly freaked me out a bit 😅

So I am curious, is anyone actually tracking their resting metabolic rate with something like a metabolic cart, or at least using a smartwatch estimate over time? I keep seeing people say weight loss slows down because of metabolic adaptation, but I am not sure how much of that is real vs just eating back the appetite.

For me the scale says I am winning but the body comp and recovery numbers tell a different story. If you have RMR data, what did it look like before and after starting a GLP-1? Would love to compare notes 🥗
