Q: Differentiate basal metabolic rate from resting metabolic rate =============================
A: Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is often used interchangeably with resting metabolic rate (RMR). While BMR is a minimum number of calories required for basic functions at rest, RMR — also called resting energy expenditure (REE) — is the number of calories that the body burns while it's at rest. BMR is a more accurate way to measure the metabolism at complete rest. It's usually slightly lower than the RMR. RMR is a better number to reference for the daily calorie needed. It more accurately represents the calories the body burn in a typical day. i.e., Finding your RMR is more relaxed in that it can be done without as much sleep or fasting beforehand. This is also why BMR is considered more accurate, but either measurement will give you a personalized idea of your body's caloric needs.
