Typically BMR ~65% of Total Daily Energy Expenditure

BMR
Measured in the morning in a fasted state

RMR
Measured in the afternoon several hours after a meal
Typically 10-20% higher than BMR

1 hour of moderate intensity exercise ~500 calories

[stevenerwee]

Excellent video. Matt has a talent for breaking down complex topics and making it easy to understand them.

[Angieraquell]

you read my mind man!!! I was literally looking for videos going over resting metabolic rate. Super stoked. Thanks

[MattLaneFitness]

Man what a great vid. You crushed this! Really appreciate it. Studying for my CNC through NASM right now and this clarified alot. You got a sub and a like from this vid. Seriously appreciate it.

[Tempaa]

Really informative,

How can I decrease my body weight with balance BMI and BMR?

[asheembakhtawar]

Excellent video eye opener. Matt you broke myths.
What’s your take on calories expenditure when a person loses body weight.
Also does losing weight effect the skin organ etc.

I’m trying to figure out what equations you used to get 80, do you mind sharing? Thank you in advance

[PabloLAlmodovar-lgsg]

The process of building muscle does add to the BMR equation therefore muscle burns more calories by using more energy? Is it correct? Thank you, outstanding video!

[jaym]

Do high-carb, low-protein, low-fat diet (like that eaten by Asian rice farmers) increase metabolic rate (by increasing FGF21)?

[twchau]

So, you mean the coming advice that losing weight while trying to keep or gain muscles (by weight training) can keep one's metabolic rate and reduce the chance of getting fat again due to lower metabolic rate is NOT true?

[cgreyford]

This was great. Do you have a recommended video (yours or another) that explains how someone can use their RMR test data to calculate their required calories and macros based upon their goals? (Like a goal of losing 10% body fat and gaining 10% more muscle mass.)

[ZedtotheA]

Where would NEAT be included on the pie chart?

[amatotravis]

hey matt awesome video and channel, very helpful, do you think you could make an impulse video, that would be awesome ! loved the rfd one but not too clear on the difference between impulse and rfd.

Felix speaking Italian makes me laugh so hard even when his pronunciation is on point

[realSimoneCherie]

Is it possible my basal metabolic rate at 33 is less than 600 calories?

Do you have any studies to verify your hypothesis about the myths?
