It’s a Resting metabolic rate that makes all the
difference. Astonished? Let’s discuss about an
important but new thing that makes lot of difference
in an individual’s life span. Resting metabolic
rate is basically an energy level required by an animal
to remain alive without doing any activity. So, it is
always noted that your real metabolic rate is always
greater than your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate).
Generally your metabolic rate=
resting metabolic rate + energy consumed (in daily activity)
Resting metabolic rate plays an important
role in calculating your energy expenditure. Various
factors that possibly play an important role in determining
RMR are of greater concern and need to give proper attention.
Factors that effect RMR:
- age
- weather condition
- daily food intake
- stage of pregnancy
- food supplements
- lean mass(muscle) level
Study shows that RMR is directly proportional
to lean mass. It decreases with the decrease in muscle
of the body. Losing fat is not alone responsible for
lowering your RMR. It is a right kind of fat loss programme
that helps to reduce fat without losing body muscle.
Basically, the energy level you burn per unit for fat
free weight loss does not change at random.
According to article published in http://www.bodybuilding.com,
“what is the error in the formula used to calculate
RMR?” - The latest research indicates that there
is lower variance in resting metabolic rate between
individuals who have same values for key variables.
That‘s at a given same age, same height, same
sex, same fat free mass, the formulae are accurate.
Recent evidence thus supports the conclusion
that within-subject variation in BMR (more or less as
RMR) is small and significant (Shetty and Soares, 1998).
The classic method of calculating BMR calculation is
precise and with precise definition as on other hand
RMR is practical enough. Use this to effectively measure
your real metabolic rate.
