Introduction
to your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) DISCLAIMER
Your BRM number
gives you a better understanding of who you really are.
The BMR Calculator will calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate
or (BMR); this is the number of calories you'd burn if you
stayed in bed all day. This is a better and a more realistic
way of know how much fuel your body is using every day.
Now these BMR calculators are all over the web and you can
find tons of free ones with a simple Google search.
Knowing how
this magic number is created will help you to understand
how it affects you throughout your life. As stated above,
your BMR is the number of calories you burn at rest for
a whole day. As your body ages it burns less and less calories,
taller and bigger bodies burn more calories. Men and women
burn calories at different rates as well, all of these factors
have to be considered when determining your BMR.
The BRM number is a
combination of several factors about you as a person.
1. Age
2. Height
3. Weight
4. Sex
These four factors
as well as how active you are can tell you how many calories
you are eating each day. Most people don't realize how much
they really eat or they don't tell themselves the truth.
Some people just don't understand portion size or the real
caloric value of some foods. Whatever your case may be educating
yourself with the truth will only help you in the long run.
Once you have committed to only being truthful with yourself,
and arm yourself with the all the knowledge you need about
what you eat, then you can start to make adjustments to
your life. Now recalculate the above information at the
weight you would like to be, now be realistic, if you have
a lot of weight to lose take it in small steps.
No one gets
over weight and un-healthy overnight, it takes years to
get off the path. It may take some time to get back to a
healthy weight, numbers don't lie, if you follow the number
educate yourself you can be a healthy happier you.
