Understanding Metabolism
Your body is constantly burning calories to stay alive, breathe, pump blood, digest foods, and move. Weight loss or weight gain is ultimately governed by the relationship between calories consumed and calories burned.
What is Basal Metabolic Rate?
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the absolute minimum baseline of calories required to sustain vegetative cellular functions at total rest over 24 hours. Think of it as what your body burns if you slept all day.
