BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns while at complete rest to maintain basic life functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. It accounts for about 60-70% of your total energy burn.

Is BMR the same as TDEE?

No. BMR is only your resting burn. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes your BMR plus calories burned through daily movement and exercise.

📉 Understanding BMR

BMR accounts for about 60-75% of your total calorie burn. It fuels your brain, heart, and organs. Never eat below your BMR for sustainable weight loss.

Why calculate BMR?

Knowing your BMR is the first step to designing a diet plan.

To maintain current weight: Multiply BMR by Activity Level (TDEE).
To compare metabolisms: Higher muscle mass increases BMR.
