After the test, results are discussed with the participant to ensure understanding and clarify any questions. Energy expenditure can be divided into three groups of calories. The sum of all of these groups of calories is your total metabolic rate. Fast and slow metabolisms are phrases that are common in everyday life, but can be difficult to understand.
A person with a fast metabolism would have low fuel efficiency; in car terms a Ford E Wagon 10mpg. In contrast, a person with a slow metabolism would have high fuel efficiency; in car terms a Toyota Prius 51mpg.
Energy Balance is the relationship between energy intake eating and energy expenditure metabolic rate. There are three phases of energy balance:. Epigenetics is the field of study that examines inheritable changes within our genetic expression that occurs without change to our underlying DNA sequence. It is both a regular and natural occurrence and is influenced by age, environment, diet, geographical location, lifestyle and disease.
Research continues to examine potential links between epigenetics and TDEE considering how it can influence food uptake and overall metabolism — possibly altering RMR by a few percentage points or to calories daily 8. This list is potentially endless, but the reality is that most fitness professionals usually limit their strategies to exercise, macronutrients, calories and various stimulants.
Building lean body mass is another effective method for boosting RMR. Peak muscle mass in humans usually occurs at ages to after which muscle losses begin to occur. The ability to preserve muscle mass or even better, build muscle mass can help preserve our age-related losses.
It might interest you to know that even a lack of sleep i. Thirty years of research demonstrates how the practice of eating very low caloric intakes e. Under this stress, sustained, elevated levels of cortisol can suppress thyroid stimulating hormone production which will ultimately impact thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. Furthermore, these starvation states can also waste away valuable muscle mass which in turn will also reduce RMR.
For more on hormone production and how it pertains to metabolic function , follow the link. So, how do you gauge whether you are in starvation states where RMR might be negatively impacted?
Unless true RMR is known which can set a minimal threshold for daily caloric intake, you might just be guessing with mathematical formulas even though the Mifflin St Jeor is probably the best to use. An alternative to the BMR formulas is to simply follow the commonly suggested minimal numbers of 1,to-1, calories for women and 1,to-1, calories for men. These numbers, however, provide estimates at best because the macronutrient composition of a diet e.
The sensation of hunger is another viable option to use as a guide, but the sensation of hunger is considered plastic i. Regardless, the hunger scale can help you gain a sense of whether you are providing adequate food calories to your body to avoid starvation — in other words, the opportunity to listen to your body. Ideally , you would spend your waking hours between hunger scores of 4-and Lastly, take the time to understand some basic differences between hunger and appetite which are outlined below:.
Subsequently, we resort to mathematical formulas, but considering their potential errors, the values determined should always be considered a general estimate rather than an accurate value. Given this, there may also be value in including other methods as a guide to avoiding starvation.
Lastly, while we need to acknowledge the fact that RMR is not entirely controllable, there are some influencing factors we can manipulate and should leverage every opportunity to exploit them.

Clinical Nutrition , 32 6 The mean RMR was On visit 1, the mean of the absolute difference between the morning and afternoon RMRs was On visit 2, the difference was Variability in mean resting metabolic rate measured during the morning or afternoon of visits 1 and 2. Repeated-measures analyses of variance were performed to assess the effect of day visit 1 and visit 2 , time morning and afternoon , and the day-by-day interaction. The dietary data appear in Table 2. Multiple regression analyses showed that dietary characteristics were not significant predictors of the differences in RMR from morning to afternoon.
Dietary intakes reported on dietary recall forms before the afternoon measurements of resting metabolic rate 1. Within-day and between-day RMR measurements are highly reliable. The CV for the difference between the morning measurements was 4. Multiple stepwise regression was used to assess the relation between dietary intake energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat and differences in RMR.
Dietary intake measured by a dietary recall did not predict differences in RMR. However, all subjects were tested 4 h postprandially. Previous research in this area indicates that the thermic effect of food should have a minimal effect by 4 h. Reed and Hill 15 observed subjects for 6 h after they ingested meals of varying sizes and composition. Another study conducted by Weststrate 23 measured diet-induced thermogenesis for 4 h after a small meal.
A 4- to 5-h fast may be adequate time to decrease the effect of the thermic effect of food on RMR measurements.
Measurements on the same day and across days were reliable, and differences among measurements were not clinically significant. On the basis of these findings, it would be acceptable to measure RMR under conditions that are less stringent than the current standard conditions. Differences in measurements represent biologic error, instrument error, and pure error. Additional research is necessary to determine the contribution of each component.
On the basis of the results of the current study, we conclude that RMR measured on 2 days visits 1 and 2 under similar conditions will provide comparable results.
