Variable RMR (kcal.day−1) (Mean ± SD) Mean bias (kcal.day−1) (90% CI) Range of mean difference (kcal.day−1) (± 2SD) TEE (kcal.day−1) (90% CI) CV% (90% CI) Correlation (r) (90% CI)
Measured RMR 1452 ± 267 - - - - -
Harris-Benedict 1438 ± 113 −14 (−108 – 80) −554 – 526 270 (218 – 358) 21.6 (17.1 – 29.5) 0.13 (−0.22 – 0.45)
Mifflin-St Jeor 1392 ± 140 −61 (−157 – 36) −611 – 490 269 (217 – 356) 21.4 (17.0 – 29.4) 0.16 (−0.19 – 0.47)
