Summary Introduction

To review:

The fraction of daily caloric expenditure is accounted for by BMR.

Introduction:

A person’s daily caloric energy needs are determined primarily by the basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is the energy required by the body to perform all essential activities, excluding physical activity. BMR calculates the basal metabolic rate of the body, which is basically the amount of energy spent by the individual when at rest.
