What is Basal Metabolic Rate?
BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate, is the amount of calories your body needs to sustain its basic functions at rest. It does not include additional calories needed for physical activity or other daily tasks. It serves as a baseline for calculating your total daily calorie needs.
Note: If you rather want to find out your caloric needs, with your activities included, try out our Calorie Calculator instead.
