What is BMR?
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents amount of energy your body needs to keep functioning as if you stayed in bed all day.

BMR decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass. Increasing muscle mass increases BMR.

BMR is used in Matthews Calorie Counter to help generate your Daily Calorie Limit, and along with BMR many other calculations to obtain efficient weight loss.
