🧬 What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns while at complete rest to maintain basic life functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.

Think of it as the electricity bill for your body just to keep the lights on.

⚡ BMR vs. TDEE

• BMR is your minimum requirement. Eating below this for long periods can slow down metabolism.
• TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) adds your activity level. This is your "Maintenance Calories".
• To lose weight, aim to eat below your TDEE but above your BMR.
