What is Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?

Virgin Pulse calculates your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) that considers your weight, age, gender, and height using the "Mifflin St. Joer algorithm", which is the most accurate, and/or underestimates the actual RMR in some cases; which we believe to be beneficial to those interested in managing weight.

  

The RMR estimates the number of calories an individual will burn with zero physical activity (resting) for a 24-hour period.
