What Is the Difference Between RMR and BMR?
RMR and BMR are often used interchangeably, but they are slightly different measurements.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR measures calorie burn under highly controlled laboratory conditions.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
RMR measures calorie burn while resting in a relaxed, practical testing environment.
For most people, the numbers are very similar. In real-world fitness and nutrition settings, RMR testing is the more commonly used and accessible measurement.
