Glossary of Terms
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
- The number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions, such as breathing, circulation, nutrient processing, and cell production.
- TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
- The total number of calories you burn each day. It's calculated by multiplying your BMR by your activity level factor.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can my BMR change?
Yes. Factors like age, weight changes (especially muscle mass), and health conditions can alter your BMR over time.
How can I increase my BMR?
The most effective way is through strength training to build more muscle mass. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue.
