BMR Explained

Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest. The Harris-Benedict equation (1919, revised 1984) and the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (1990) are the two most widely used formulas. Mifflin-St Jeor is generally considered more accurate for modern populations.
