What is BMR?

BMR represents the energy your body requires to function while you’re at complete rest. It’s the minimum number of calories your body burns each day to maintain essential bodily functions like your heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature. Factors like age, gender, height, weight, and muscle mass affect your BMR, meaning different people will have different metabolic needs
