Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a critical factor in the realm of weight management and overall health, representing the number of calories the body requires to perform its most basic functions while at rest. RMR accounts for approximately 60-75% of total daily energy expenditure, making it a cornerstone of metabolic health. Understanding their unique metabolic fingerprint is essential for anyone seeking to manage their weight effectively, as it provides a baseline for caloric needs and helps tailor dietary and exercise plans to individual metabolic profiles. RMR equations can be off by 20-30%, as they can't account for thyroid issues, metabolic adaptation to restrictive diets, the effects of medications, stress and high cortisol levels, etc. Metabolism Matters! By obtaining accurate RMR measurements with an indirect calorimeter such as the Microlife BodyGem and MedGem, dietitians, bariatric doctors, and personal trainers can guide their clients to lasting weight loss results.
