CALCULATE YOUR BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR)

Your BMR is the number of calories that you would burn over a 24 hour period while lying down, but not sleeping.  Your actual metabolic rate is estimated by adding the caloric cost of all the activities you engage in throughout the day to your baseline BMR.  This number will be different every day according to the activities you do.  Below is a link to calculate your at rest  BMR.
