What is the BMR?
The basal metabolic rate (or BMR) is the amount of energy your body burns while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment.Your BMR is the minimum amount of energy your body needs per day to function, and the primary determinant of your metabolic rate—the amount of energy your body uses at rest. Nutrition and exercise can be used to increase your BMR—which can aid in weight loss, increase energy, and improve health.
The basal metabolic rate (or BMR) is the amount of energy your body requires to perform basic functions when at rest. The BMR is the largest portion of your daily caloric expenditure, and a key indicator of your fitness and health. The BMR is significantly influenced by genetics and the environment in which you live, with those in colder climates requiring more calories to maintain their body temperature. Your BMR also increases when you are hungry and decreases when you are well-fed.
When you burn or consume excess calories, your body will respond by burning or storing the calories as fat, respectively. This is why calorie balance is the key to weight management—if you consume more calories than you burn, you’ll gain weight; if you burn more calories than you consume, you’ll lose weight. The amount of calories your body requires for basic functions, such as breathing and standing, is referred to as your BMR. The BMR is the largest portion of your daily caloric expenditure, and a key indicator of your fitness and health.
