Daily Calorie Recommendation

RMR stands for Resting Metabolic Rate. It's the minimum amount of energy required to keep your body functioning, such as heart beating, lungs breathing, and your body temperature normal. Basically, it's the amount of calories you would burn if you were to stay in bed for 24 hours.

Since most of us do more than just sleep all day, we need to factor in our activity level to know how many calories we are actually burning in a day.

RMR x Activity Level= Maintenance (*For Weight Loss: Subtract 250-500 calories)
