BMR stands for
Basal metabolic rate
RMR stands for
Resting metabolic rate
Measuring this rate of energy use requires the individual to sleep in a testing facility, fast for 12 hours, and have energy expenditure measured when they first awaken
Basal energy expenditure
Generally speaking, BMR is (higher/lower) in younger people.
Higher
Generally speaking, BMR is (higher/lower) in taller people
Higher
Generally speaking, BMR is (higher/lower) in heavier people
Higher
The expression _______________ is used to describe the energy expended by our bodies in order to consume (bite, chew, and swallow) and process (digest, transport, metabolize and store) food.
Thermic effect of food
The Harris-Benedict equation does not provide a valid estimate because they didn’t include people in these categories
Obese people, nor of younger and older people
This equation makes adjustments to the Harris-Benedict equation and appears to be one of the more accurate of those available for estimating resting metabolic rate
The Mifflin equation
Represents the percent of the body mass that is fat and muscle
Body mass index (BMI)
The activity calculator at this site that estimates daily energy expenditure for different levels of physical activity only uses this measurement from the date you enter
(MET) Metabolic Equivalent, the amount of oxygen consumed performing each activity
The activity calculator at this site that estimates daily energy expenditure for different levels of physical activity does not use these measurements in the date you enter
RMR or BMR, instead it uses a constant based on your weight alone
Always remember that calculator like these have questionable accuracy because they are?
Estimates, not actual measurements
