*Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the "base" number of calories needed daily in order to sustain yourself at rest, or in other words, the amount of energy you need to keep your body's vital processes functioning, without factoring for activity.
*We use the Harris Benedict equation to determine your daily calorie requirements. With the exception of the very muscular (it will under-report calories) and the very obese (it will over report them), it's an accurate tool.
