        Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimal caloric
        requirement needed to sustain life
        in a resting individual.



        Let's look at some factors that affect BMR:



        Age: In youth, the BMR is higher;
        age brings less lean mass and slows the BMR.



        Height: Tall, thin people have higher BMR's.



        Growth: Children and pregnant women
        have higher BMR's.



        Body Composition: The more lean tissue,
        the higher the BMR.

        The more fat tissue, the lower the BMR.



        Fever: Fevers can raise the BMR.



        Stress: Stress hormones can raise the BMR.



        Environmental Temperature: Both the heat
        and cold raise the BMR.



        Fasting/Starvation: Fasting/starvation
        hormones lower the BMR.



        Malnutrition: Malnutrition lowers the BMR.



        Thyroxin: The thyroid hormone thyroxin
        is a key BMR regulator; the more thyroxin
        produced, the higher the BMR.



        General Calculation: BMR = your body weight in lbs x 10 kcal/lb



        For example: BMR = 150 x 10 kcal/lb = 1,500 kcals
