Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimal rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. (McNab, B. K. 1997).

In addition to your basal metabolic rate, two other factors determine how many calories your body burns each day: 1  Food processing (thermogenesis).2  Digesting, absorbing, transporting and storing the food you consume also takes calories.n addition to your basal metabolic rate, two other factors determine how many calories your body burns each day: 1  Food processing (thermogenesis). 2  Physical activity.
