Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is defined as the minimum number of calories your body burns whether at rest, working out or lying down. This means that everyone has a set number of calories that they need in order to stay alive and itâs as different for you as it is for your children, friends, parents or even siblings.
Basal metabolism is the energy expended for cellular and tissue processes that ensure the maintenance of life. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is measured under standard conditions in which the individual is at rest in a thermoneutral environment after a 12-to 18-hour fast (DUBOIS, 1936; BENEDICT, 1938).he decline in basal metabolism relative to body weight is secondary to the differential in growth rates of organs with high metabolic rates (i.e., brain, liver, heart, and kidney) relative to those with lower metabolic rates (i.e., muscle and fat) (HOLLIDAY, 1971, 1986) (Table 2).
