Final answer:

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) includes the thermic effect of food, nonexercise activity thermogenesis, and physical activity, which are not included in the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) includes the components not included in the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):

Thermic effect of food: The energy required to digest, absorb, and process the food we consume.

Nonexercise activity thermogenesis: The energy expended on daily activities other than exercise, such as cleaning or walking.

Physical activity: The energy expended during exercise or intentional physical activities.

On the other hand, BMR only considers the basal energy expenditure which accounts for the energy required for basic functions of the body's organs while at rest.
