Resting metabolic rate is the energy required by an animal to stay alive with no activity. Therefore, your real metabolic rate is always significantly higher than your RMR. Calculating RMR is a very useful first step in calculating your real metabolic rate.
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is one of the main contributing components of energy expenditure (around 70%).
