What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum energy your body needs to function at complete rest, including breathing, heartbeat, and temperature regulation. It accounts for 60-75% of your daily energy expenditure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to increase BMR?
Building muscle is the most effective approach — each kilogram of muscle burns about 15 more calories daily than fat. Combine strength training, adequate protein intake (1.2-1.6g/kg daily), sufficient sleep, and avoid prolonged extreme dieting.
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is your energy use at rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes BMR plus daily activity and exercise. TDEE is more useful for diet and exercise planning — your actual calorie needs may be 20-50% higher than BMR.
