Approximately 60-70% of your total daily calories are burned by your body at rest to perform basic life-sustaining functions. This fundamental energy consumption is measured by either your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), two similar but distinct metrics in the world of health and fitness.
