Difference between revisions of "Calculate Basal Metabolic Rate"

If you're trying to lose, maintain, or gain weight, it's a good idea to start by calculating your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your basal metabolism is the amount of energy your body uses when it is completely at rest - it's simply the energy needed to operate your organs and keep you alive each day without taking any physical activity in to account. Your BMR is affected by a large number of variables - gender, age, height and weight are the most important, but your body fat percentage, diet, and exercise habits also play a role. Read on for an easy process that both men and women can use to calculate their BMRs.
