Your resting metabolic rate reflects the energy you require at rest \u2013 before work, exercise, chores, and more. Living busy lives means that our RMR is often considerably less than our total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) \u2013 the amount you would need to match to maintain your current weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, having an accurate measurement of RMR can make it drastically easier to estimate your caloric needs after exercise and other daily activities, making it easier to work towards goals for weight loss, weight maintenance, weight gain, or body recomposition.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re confused about what metabolism is or how to calculate your energy expenditure needs, this is the article for you. We\u2019ll take a look at what metabolism is, how you can <\/span>measure it with RMR testing<\/span><\/a>, and how RMR testing compares to other options \u2013 such as online calorie calculators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
