What Is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?
BMR is the number of calories your body needs at complete rest to maintain basic functions: breathing, heartbeat, body temperature and cell repair. It typically accounts for 60–70% of your total daily energy expenditure.
BMR vs. TDEE – What's the Difference?
BMR is your resting energy need. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) multiplies your BMR by an activity factor (1.2–1.9) to calculate actual daily calorie burn. NutriLumo automatically calculates both values and derives your calorie goal from them.
What Influences Basal Metabolic Rate?
Age (drops approx. 1–2% per decade after 30), sex (men have approx. 5–10% higher BMR), height and weight, muscle mass (more muscle = higher BMR), thyroid function and body temperature.
