Introduction:
Basal metabolic rate is also represented as BMR. It is defined as the rate of the expenditure of energy per unit time at rest by the endothermic animals. The BMR at rest is low as compared to the body undergoing vigorous activities (such as exercise).

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body uses to function at rest in a day. This includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the kidneys functioning, and the body temperature stabilized. Approximately 70 percent of an individual’s energy expenditure goes into basal metabolism. The other 30 percent goes into digestion and absorption of nutrients (10%) and physical movement (about 20%).
Calculate your basal metabolic rate in Calories using the appropriate equation here:
Females: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × wt(kg)) + (1.8 × ht(cm)) – (4.7 × age(yrs))
Males: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × wt(kg)) + (5 × ht(cm)) – (6.8 × age(yrs))
Calculate how many Calories you burn overall in a day.
Which of the following conditions is not applicable to measuring basal metabolic rate? a. reclining b. the time immediately after a meal c. room temperature d. resting
Which individual would you predict to have a higher basal metabolic rate, a man who is 6 feet tall weighing 200 pounds or a man who is 5 feet, 9 inches tall weighing 160 pounds? Explain your answer.
