The Rest Metabolic Rate (RMR) is similar to the Basal Metabolic Rate, however it measures the calories that your body burns while at rest, which is usually a bit higher than the BMR.

This calculator uses the Katch-McArdle formula in combination with the Hume formula to determine your lean body mass (LBM).

Both the Katch-McArdle and the Cunningham formulas are more suitable for individuals whose muscle mass are significantly higher than average.

The Katch–McArdle formula for determining the RMR is defined as:

R M R

=

\times

L B M_{H u m e}

R M R

: The Lean Body Mass

h e i g h t

= h e i g h t_{f e e t} + h e i g h t_{i n c h}

w e i g h t

: the weight measured in pound(lbs)

h e i g h t_{f e e t}

: The first part of the height measured in feet. For example

h e i g h t_{i n c h}

: The second part of the height measured in inch. For example

The unit for RMR is:

k i l o c a l o r i e / d a y (k c a l / d)
