What Is The
Basal Metabolic Rate?

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy you expend while at rest.

The release of energy in this state is enough only for the functioning of all the vital organs, your muscles and skin.

Your BMR decreases with age, due to the natural loss of your muscle mass.

This is why we suggest using weight training as one of the elements of an effective weight loss strategy.

In our Calorie Counting section we cover BMR and TDEE, which are simply the amounts of calories you body uses under certain circumstances.

Plus, we also explain exactly how to maintain your ideal weight, once you actually reach it.
