Why is BMR Important?
Understanding your BMR can help in managing weight, as it represents the minimum number of calories you need to maintain your body’s basic functions. It provides a baseline for determining your total energy expenditure, which includes physical activity and the thermic effect of food (the energy required for digestion).

How is BMR Calculated?
BMR can be calculated using several different equations, with the Harris-Benedict equation being one of the most widely used. The formula varies slightly based on gender due to differences in body composition and energy expenditure between men and women.
