It is my understanding that, regardless of the formula used, that RMR is 15% higher than BMR. So, theoretically, if one had BMR's from a large sample (humans), and just multiplied by 1.15, then one should have a reliable RMR for everyone, correct? Would anyone have any different advice or strategies for this?
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.
REE=BMR + DIT
Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) can be defined as the increase in energy expenditure above basal fasting level divided by the energy content of the food ingested and is commonly expressed as a percentage.
Half immune cells of the body are in the small intestine.
Meal absorption develops in a conflict between mucosa and bacteria.
We can experimentaly search for a solution by reducing bacterial rowth in intestine.
BMR is well defined by physiological conditions, however RMR ist not. Usually it is calculated to be about 20% higher (PAL physical activity level 1,2) than BMR. Individually it is possible to calculate the RMR by 24h heartrate monitoring protocol. The lowest period laying under rest (night) the HR reponds more to BMR and the resting HR during the day to RMR. PALrmr = HR_Rest/ HR sleep is the factor to multiply the value got from BMR-formula to get the RMR. This is the easiest possibility to make an assumption for an individual RMR.
