                                According to the Cleveland Clinic, your resting metabolic rate (RMR) accounts for 60% to 70% of your total daily energy expenditure. If you’ve noticed that your resting calories are consistently low, it could be a sign that several underlying factors are influencing your body's metabolism, affecting everything from your weight management to your overall energy levels.
