Basal metabolic rate (BMR)

• Amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans).
• Decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass.
• Increased muscle mass can increase BMR

*For men (kCal) = 66 + (13.7 x weight) + (5 x height) - (6.8 x age)

*For women (kCal) = 655 + (9.6 x weight) + (1.8 x height) - (4.7 x age)

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

*For men (kCal) = (10 x weight) + (6.25 x height) - (5 x age) + 5

*For women (kCal) = (10 x weight) + (6.25 x height) - (5 x age) - 161
