Calories Used While at Rest or Sleeping

In Jennings (2022) [1] the author derived the following formula for human weight loss during rest or sleeping.

(dW/dt) = - RMR/D pounds/day

Here, the author will show the exprssions for RMR, calories/day, (resting metabolic rate) and D (3500 calories per pound) to compare values for (dW/dt).

In this article, we will look at various ways to predict RMR and tabulate (dW/dt) between the predictions.
