What is Resting Metabolic Rate?

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) represents the calories your body burns to maintain essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cellular repair while completely at rest. This baseline energy requirement accounts for 60-75% of your total daily calorie expenditure, making it the foundation for any effective nutrition and weight management strategy.
