Frequently Asked Questions
RMR is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production while at rest.
We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: For men: RMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) + 5; For women: RMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) - 161.
Knowing your RMR helps you understand your baseline calorie needs, which is useful for weight management, diet planning, and assessing metabolic health.
