46 this morning. It varies depending on sleep, diet, time of day. I am sometimes in the mid 30s and others in the low 50s.

(It was around 65 a few years ago before I got fit.)

Mine was just 46. It's usually between 40 and 50.

The reason I posted this as I have a theory that a lowered heart rate is a physiological response to a prolonged caloric deficit, ie, one way your body lowers metabolism. The answers given here aremostly quite low, with the average being between 60 to 80 in the general population, with most here well below 60. It may be that mostly only very fit people responded to this thread and it means nothing at all, or it might be a real thing.

Mitty, I suspect that you are correct that only those who have been exercising (maybe even, cardio exercises mostly) regularly have replied.
