What You Need To Know About Your RMR.

Resting Metabolic Rate or RMR for short, is synonymous with Resting Energy Expenditure or REE to give it its abbreviated term. Resting Metabolic Rate  measurements are typically taken under less restricted conditions than BMR  ( Basal Metabolic Rate ), and do not require that the subject spend the night sleeping in a test facility prior to undergoing testing.

Your resting metabolic rate is the calories you burn while at rest. If you got up in the morning and went from your bed to the couch and watched TV the entire day, this would be a pretty good estimate of your  daily calories.

If like most people you are searching the internet for information on your metabolic rate then you will  also see many of the search terms show  up for BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate. This term is so widely used though the BMR and RMR are a little different.. In fact,RMR is likely to be more appropriate for your needs and is the more accurate estimation.
