BMR

BMR— Basal Metabolic Rate:

• Define BMR.

An estimate on how much calories you burn per day with just normal everyday activity without accounting additional exercise or the amount of calorie intake you had that day. 

• What is your estimated BMR?

1551.9

• What does this information mean to you?

It just tells me my current calorie burn with regular everyday life and I can use it to my advantage for my health. 

• What does BMR not take into account?

It doesn't account additional exercise, your calorie intake currently, or the specific composition of your body. 

• How can you use this information?

It means that when I eat I can eat as many as 1550 calories if I want to maintain my weight, or eat less calories to lose weight. Or I could do additional exercise and still eat 1550 calories or more, depending on the extra exercise I do.
