    Glossary Basal Metabolic Rate

    amount of energy needed for basic body functions at rest

    Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions, such as breathing, circulation, and cell production, while at rest. It represents the minimum caloric requirement necessary to sustain life in a resting individual and is influenced by factors like age, sex, weight, and body composition.
