Basal Metabolic Rate (BRM) Calculator

Even when you are sleeping you are expending energy and burning calories. Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories that you would burn if you did nothing other than stay in bed all day. BRM is the most important factor in determining your overall metabolic rate and how many calories you need to lose, maintain, or gain weight. BRM Calculator

Ways to increase your BRM:

• Regular exercise, especially cardiovascular
  
• Increase your muscle to fat ratio
  
• Avoid Hunger. Depriving yourself of food for long stretches will cause a drop in metabolism. Instead eat smaller, more frequent meals
