BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs daily to maintain basic functions while at rest, such as breathing, circulation, cell production, and temperature regulation. It represents the energy your body requires to keep vital processes going when you're not active. BMR varies based on factors like age, sex, weight, and body composition. Knowing your BMR can help you understand your daily calorie needs and manage your diet or weight goals effectively. It’s the foundation of your overall metabolism, but actual daily energy expenditure also includes activity and digestion.
