Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the rate at which you burn energy or calories at rest.

How do I measure my RMR?

Males: 66+ (6.22 x weight (lbs)) +
(12.7 x height (inches)) - (6.8 x age)

Females: 655 + (4.36 x weight (lbs)) +
(4.32 x height (inches)) - (4.7 x age)

Did you know that?

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is one the main contributing componenents of energy expenditure (around 70%)

Things that affect your Metabolic Rate.....

Muscle - More muscle increases your RMR
Age - Your RMR decreases with Age
A decrease in your RMR can be due to genetics
The weather - Living in a cold enviroment can increase your RMR. I know this sounds strange but you expend more energy while moving around in cold weather. It's a allot easier to move around in summer but more of an effort to "get going" in winter.
Small Regular meals will increase your RMR
Pregnancy can increase your RMR
Crash dieting will decrease your RMR
