Knowing your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) will help you to determine how many calories your body needs while you are trying to lose, maintain or gain weight. Your basal metabolism is the amount of energy your body uses when it is at rest. Even when you are not moving, your body is expending calories, maintaining your body temperature, pumping blood, respiring and digesting food. BMR can account for as much as 70 percent of the calories you burn in a day. Your BMR is affected by a large number of variables. Gender, age, height and weight are among the most important of these factors, but your body fat percentage, diet, exercise habits and general health also play a role. This Ebook will show you how to calculate basal metabolic rate. along with the basic ingredients to maintain healthy eating habits
