RESTING METABOLIC RATE. Similar to the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), a measure of energy use of a person at rest in a comfortable setting, but with less stringent criteria for recent food intake and physical activity. Consequently the RMR is significanly higher than the BMR.

resting metabolic rate. Rate of body metabolism while conscious, but inactive.
Resting metabolic rate. The body's metabolic rate (rate of energy use) early in the morning after an overnight fast and a full eight hours' sleep. This is different than Basal metabolic rate.
Resting Metabolic Rate. Number of calories expended to maintain the body during resting conditions. Also referred to as basal metabolic rate. See Metabolism Myths
Resting metabolic rate. RMR accounts for 65 to 75 percent of daily energy expenditure and represents the minimum energy needed to maintain all physiological cell functions in the resting state. The principal determinant of RMR is lean body mass (LBM). Obese subjects have a higher RMR in absolute terms than lean individuals, an equivalent RMR when corrected for LBM and per unit surface area, and a lower RMR when expressed per kilogram of body weight. Obese persons require more energy for any given activity because of a larger mass, but they tend to be more sedentary than lean subjects.
Resting Metabolic Rate. Your RMR is the rate at which your body utilizes energy to maintain your involuntary body functions, like breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature, when your body is in a state of rest.
