I wish they had gone more into depth about standardizing for mass and fat-free mass and presented data in units /kg/day (instead of just /day). They say they did standardize, but at a glance I didn't see much more detail. Obese people have massively elevated RMR compared to non-obese people (when reported as kg / day).
They still had retained an impressive amount of weight loss after 6 years (compared to most free-living participants in dietary intervention trials), and RMR is of course going to be proportional to your body mass.
