What is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)? Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the minimum number of calories your body needs to function while at rest. Even when you are sleeping or sitting still, your body is constantly burning energy to keep your heart beating, lungs breathing, and cells regenerating.
Why Calculate Your BMR? Understanding your BMR is the foundation of any successful weight management plan.
-
Weight Loss: To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE).
-
Muscle Gain: To build muscle, you typically need to eat slightly above your BMR and activity levels.
-
Health Monitoring: Tracking changes in your BMR can help you understand how your metabolism reacts to aging or lifestyle changes.
