The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)is Always Less Than the Total

Question

The basal metabolic rate (BMR)is always less than the total metabolic rate (TMR).

Accepted Answer

BMR is the amount of energy expended by the body while at rest, while TMR is the total amount of energy expended by the body, including physical activity. Since physical activity contributes to TMR, it is always higher than BMR.
