What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns while performing basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. It accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily calorie burn.
BMR vs TDEE
BMR (Coma Calories)
The absolute minimum calories you need just to exist. You would burn this amount even if you stayed in bed all day.
TDEE (Real Life)
Total Daily Energy Expenditure puts your activity level into the equation. This is the number you should look at for weight management.
How to use these numbers
- Maintain Weight: Eat approx. your TDEE calories.
- Lose Weight: Eat ~500 calories below your TDEE (approx 0.5kg loss/week).
- Gain Weight: Eat ~500 calories above your TDEE.
