What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic life-sustaining functions, including breathing, circulation, and cell production.
Daily Calorie Needs Based on Activity Level
| Activity Level | Description | Calories/Day |
|---|---|---|
| Sedentary | Little or no exercise | 1,986 |
| Lightly Active | Light exercise 1-3 days/week | 2,276 |
| Moderately Active | Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week | 2,565 |
| Very Active | Hard exercise 6-7 days/week | 2,856 |
| Extra Active | Very hard exercise & physical job | 3,145 |
Understanding Your BMR
Your BMR is influenced by several factors:
- Muscle mass: Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue
- Age: Metabolism slows as you get older
- Body size: Larger bodies require more energy
- Gender: Men typically have higher BMR than women
Knowing your BMR can help you create effective weight management strategies.
