Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum amount of energy or calories your body requires daily to function effectively when at rest. This includes sleep. 

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when resting, for your respiratory and circulatory organs, neural system, liver, kidneys, and other organs to function effectively. Your BMR is strongly influenced by the amount of muscle you have. Increasing muscle mass increases your BMR, which increases the number of calories consumed and subsequently decreases the amount of body fat.

On the other hand, a lower BMR will make it harder to lose body fat. If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight; and vice versa.

The BMR can therefore be used to determine your minimum calorie intake, which can be built up based on the activities during the day. Your BMR score can be easily determined using a body analysis scale. If you follow an intensive training schedule, we recommend that you measure your BMR score regularly.
