Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the measurement of the total number of calories a body automatically burns in a 24 hour period, if you were to be completely relaxed, unemotional and at total rest.
Your BMR, is the energy (measured in calories) expended by the body at rest to maintain normal bodily functions.
This continual work makes up about 60-70% of the calories we use (“burn” or expend) and includes the beating of our heart, respiration, and the maintenance of body temperature. In cold weather condition body burn more calories to keep the body warm.
