The human body requires a significant amount of energy (i.e. calories) just to function regularly. Each day, your body must breathe, blink, circulate blood, control body temperature, grow new cells, support brain and nerve activity and contract muscles. Staying alive is hard work, people!
The amount of energy (in the form of calories) that the body needs to function while resting for 24 hours is known as theย basal metabolic rate, or BMR.
This number of calories reflects how much energy your body requires to support vital body functions if, hypothetically, you were resting in bed for an entire day. In fact, your BMR is the single largest component (upwards of 60 percent) of your totalย energy burnedย each day.
That is then multiplied by your activity factor to give you your maintenanceย calorie requirements!
Plus or Minus 15% ofย this number for weight loss or weight gain![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
