Understanding BMR

  • BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate. BMR represents the baseline energy expenditure (typically measured in calories) required by the human body to maintain vital functions while at rest. In this state, energy consumption is allocated solely to sustain the functionality of essential organs such as the heart and lungs, as well as fundamental bodily processes like respiration, blood circulation, and temperature regulation. Basal metabolic rate typically contributes to approximately 60-75% of the total calories burned daily.
