Understanding Your BMR
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest, such as breathing, circulation, cell production, nutrient processing, and protein synthesis.
BMR typically accounts for 60-70% of your total daily energy expenditure and is the largest component of your caloric needs.
Factors Affecting BMR
- Body Size: Larger bodies require more energy to maintain
- Muscle Mass: Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue
- Age: BMR typically decreases with age due to muscle loss
- Gender: Men generally have higher BMR due to more muscle mass
