Understanding Your BMR

What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions at complete rest.

Factors Affecting BMR

Age, gender, weight, height, muscle mass, and genetics all influence your metabolic rate.

Increase Your BMR

Build muscle through strength training, stay active, and eat enough protein to boost metabolism.

Nutrition Planning

Use BMR to calculate your daily calorie needs for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain.

Track Progress

Re-calculate BMR every 3-6 months as your weight and body composition change.
