Resting Metabolic Rate

Resting Metabolic Rate is the rate of metobolaism which happens during a human rest phase.

its calculated as:

RMR = 9.99w + 6.25s - 4.92a + 166g-161
w = weight in kilograms; if you know your weight in pounds, divide by 2.2 to get your weight in kilograms  
s = height in centimeters; if you know your height in inches, multiply by 2.54 to get your height in centimeters  
a = age in years  
g = gender = 1 for males, 0 for females  
that if you weigh more, your RMR will be higher! RMR will tell you how many calories you need to maintain your body at rest. Your daily consumption to maintain your weight should be: RMR x 1.15
