What is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Basal Metabolic Rate is a measure of the energy that your body uses when it is inactive. It represents the minimum amount of energy required to keep your body functioning like heart beating, lungs breathing, brain working and body temperature normal.

BMR accounts for 60-75% of daily calories burned. This means you burn the most calories while at rest. The faster your metabolic rate the more calories you burn.

People with a high percentage of muscle mass burn more calories while at rest. This means it is important to not only lose fat but to gain muscle in the weight loss process. By increasing your total muscle mass, you can increase your bodies total energy requirements even while at rest and increase your metabolic rate .
