What Is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?
Your Resting Metabolic Rate, or RMR, is the number of calories your body burns each day at rest in order to maintain basic life functions.
Even when you are not exercising, your body still requires energy to:
- breathe
- circulate blood
- regulate temperature
- support brain function
- repair tissue
- maintain organ function
RMR represents the largest portion of most people’s daily calorie expenditure.
At Body Fat USA in Denver, we use professional metabolic testing equipment to measure your actual resting calorie burn, rather than relying on generalized online calculators or estimates.
