Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the energy burned at rest while awake in a relaxed state.
| Feature | BMR | RMR |
|---|---|---|
| Test conditions | Strict lab baseline | Practical rest |
| Typical value | Slightly lower | Slightly higher (≈3–10%) |
| Use in apps | Less common | More common |
RMR is the base layer for TDEE. It changes slowly with body mass and composition.
