What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is your metabolic rate at complete rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes BMR plus calories burned through daily activities and exercise. TDEE is typically 20-30% higher than BMR for sedentary individuals.

How can I increase my BMR?

You can increase BMR by building muscle mass through strength training, staying hydrated, eating enough protein, getting adequate sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue.

Understanding Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest. This includes breathing, circulation, cell production, nutrient processing, and protein synthesis.

Men: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + 5

Women: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age - 161
