does height effect bmr/rmr?

How much height effects bmr/rmr, for example if we take 2 individuals that their weight is the same, 1 is 6''1 and one is 5'9, how much cals averagly the taller guy will consume more than the shorter one?

If their weight and body composition are identical, height is irrelevant and they'll have roughly the same caloric needs. Though the taller person is expected to weigh more at the same body composition.

height affects weight

Weight affects it, not height. However, being taller has many advantages.

Take 2 guys both at 10% bodyfat and of very similar body compositions.

Say the 5'7" guy is ripped at 150 lbs.

Say the 6'0" guy is ripped at 180 lbs.

Now take their ESTIMATED maintenance, including about 1 hr of exercise per day. I'm using 15 x bodyweight, which is damn close to what most calculators would give anyway and is what Lyle recommends here: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat...ic-intake.html

5'7" 150 lb guy's ESTIMATED maintenance would be 150 x 15 = 2250 cal

6'0" 180 lb guys ESTIMATED maintenance would be 180 x 15 = 2700 cal

So 6'0" guy would get to maintain on almost 500 calories more per day.

Being a manlet sucks, ask me how I know.

Well BMR is calculated using BF% and weight... So the two people, even though different heights, would need to be the same weight and same BF% in order to have the same BMR. If I'm correct it's body weight in KG X 100-BF% / 100 X 21.6 + 370.
