Basal metabolic rate, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and energy cost of selected activities were measured in six healthy young women who were participating in a study of protein requirements. The women were confined to a metabolic unit for 92 days during which they consumed a defined formula diet. The basal metabolic rate of the women was 20.7 +/- 2.6 kcal/kg body weight/day and the caloric requirement for maintenance of weight was 38.7 kcal/kg body weight/day. Basal metabolic rate varied significantly with the menstrual cycle. Basal metabolic rate decreased at menstruation and fell to its lowest point approximately 1 wk before ovulation subsequently rising until the beginning of the next menstrual period. RMR was 0.99 +/- 0.16 kcal/kg/h. The energy expenditure while sitting was 1.06 times RMR, while walking it was 2.81 times RMR, and while performing treadmill exercise it was 3.47 times RMR.
在参与一项蛋白质需求研究的六名健康年轻女性中，测量了基础代谢率、静息代谢率（RMR）以及特定活动的能量消耗。这些女性被限制在代谢单元中92天，在此期间她们食用一种规定的配方饮食。这些女性的基础代谢率为20.7±2.6千卡/千克体重/天，维持体重的热量需求为38.7千卡/千克体重/天。基础代谢率随月经周期有显著变化。基础代谢率在月经期间下降，并在排卵前约1周降至最低点，随后上升直至下一个月经周期开始。静息代谢率为0.99±0.16千卡/千克/小时。坐着时的能量消耗是静息代谢率的1.06倍，走路时是静息代谢率的2.81倍，在跑步机上运动时是静息代谢率的3.47倍。
