Accuracy of RMR

[Oso Rojo]

Robert,
What is your opinion of the Resting Metabolism Rate test and it's accuracy?

I was reading another post where the OP was asking how many calories they should have a day and it got me wondering. I didn't want to step on their thread so I'm asking here.

Is RMR a good way to get a starting number for calories?

Save your money and track your current intake and adjust from there. See below for my in depth explanation of this.

Does that mean the test is inaccurate or accurate but not worth the money?

Fairly accurate, not worth the money though.
