Metabolic rate

Metabolic rate refers to the speed at which your body burns energy or calories to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulation, and cell repair, even when at rest. It varies from person to person based on factors such as age, gender, muscle mass, and activity level. A higher metabolic rate means your body uses energy more quickly, which can help with weight management, while a lower rate may require fewer calories to maintain body weight. Understanding metabolic rate can help in making informed dietary and fitness choices.
