Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimal energy requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. In other words, this is the minimum amount of calories that your body needs just to stay alive. BMR values vary according to gender, age, weight and height. A big proportion of the calories we expend daily are used just to keep us alive. Given this fact, it is clear that calorie restriction is a very important consideration when dieting.
