Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) measurement is available at Professional Nutrition Therapists! RMR measures the calories a person needs at rest to individualize the nutrition prescription. This is also called Resting Energy Expenditure because metabolic rate translates to energy expenditure.
Maintenance of body functions is dependent on a constant amount of voluntary and involuntary energy expenditure. Age, Gender, Height, Weight, Activity, Race and other things such as climate, smoking, and nutrient intake effect energy expenditure and therefore resting metabolic rate. Exercise and activity also raise RMR from 100-3000 calories per day.
Energy Balance = Energy Expended (exercise/activity, maintenance)
