TL;DR for the study: Biggest Loser contestants apparently had a significantly lower RMR after weight loss than what a person of their age/height/gender/weight would usually have.
I've seen a few other threads here on this study, but there doesn't seem to be a definite answer in regards to the lowered-RMR problem. Sure, the equation they used to calculate RMR wasn't very good, but there are other studies that point to a lowered RMR after weight loss using other methods (maybe a few hundred calories less). There are also studies that show that a lowered RMR from weight loss is temporary, and even others that show there's no change at all (accounting for lower bodyweight and protein intake).
Are there any recent studies that give a relatively definitive answer to the question of if RMR slows significantly after a period of weight loss?
