What is BMR and why is it important?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) represents the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic life functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production while at rest. Understanding your BMR helps you make informed decisions about your diet and activity level.
How Many Steps Do I Need to Lose Weight?
Combining your BMR with physical activity helps estimate the number of steps required to burn extra calories for weight loss. By tracking daily steps and adjusting your diet, you can create a calorie deficit that supports gradual, healthy weight loss tailored to your metabolism.
How to Identify Your Metabolic Type?
Your metabolic type reflects how your body processes food and burns calories. To find it, start by calculating your BMR, which estimates your calorie needs at rest. Then, consider factors like your energy levels, digestion, and response to different foods. This personalized insight can guide dietary choices and optimize metabolism.
What Happens If You Eat Below Your BMR?
Consuming fewer calories than your BMR means your body lacks the energy needed for basic functions like breathing and circulation. Over time, this can slow your metabolism, cause muscle loss, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. It’s important to maintain a balanced intake to support overall health.

Understanding Your BMR
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.
Why It Matters
Knowing your BMR helps determine your total daily calorie needs for maintaining, losing, or gaining weight.
Factors Affecting BMR
- Muscle mass (increases BMR)
- Age (BMR decreases with age)
- Body size (larger bodies have higher BMR)
- Genetics (some people naturally burn more)
Increasing Your BMR
- Build muscle through strength training
- Stay physically active throughout the day
- Eat enough protein
- Get quality sleep
