The weather in the Abacos with the exception of local patterns like the squall shown above, is pretty much the same as south Florida. The temperature is too. When it's 50 in February in Ft. Lauderdale, it will be close to that in the Abacos. Hurricanes hit the Abacos as often as they hit Florida.
Body Fat Percentage-The lower an individual's body fat percentage, the higher their BMR. This is one reason why men typically have a BMR that is 10-15% higher than that of women. Diet-Starvation diets typically reduce an individual's BMR by as much as 30%.
You use energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping. The BMR Calculator will calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR); the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day. If you've noticed that every year, it becomes harder to eat whatever you want and stay slim, you've also learnt that your BMR decreases as you age. Likewise, depriving yourself of food in hopes of losing weight also decreases your BMR, a foil to your intentions. However, a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise can increase your BMR, improving your health and fitness when your body's ability to burn energy gradually slows down. Once you know your BMR, you can calculate your Daily Calorie Needs based on your activity level using the Harris Benedict Equation.
