Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a form of metabolism measurement that measures the amount of energy used by the bodies of animals in a relaxed, but not post-absorptive, state.RMR measurements require the animals be in a thermal neutral zone (or a preferred temperature range for bradymetabolic animals) and relaxed.esting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a form of metabolism measurement that measures the amount of energy used by the bodies of animals in a relaxed, but not post-absorptive, state.
The resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories the body requires at rest. It is important because any calorie intake above this resting metabolic rate (RMR) is stored as fat by your body.The RMR is a good estimate for those of us without access to complex laboratory testing of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide gas production. The basic formula for estimating RMR at rest is:our resting metabolic rate is approximately one kcal per kilogram of body weight per hour. (To find your weight in kilograms, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.) If you weigh 132 pounds, or 60 kilograms, you will burn 60 kcal an hour.
