Calculate Your BMR

Most of everyone has heard the abbreviation BMI. It sounds familiar doesn’t it? Something that you’ve heard in conjunction with weight loss – but have you heard about BMR?

Are you familiar with both? Do you understand the concept and the significance of their relation to your weight-loss journey? If yes, that’s fantastic, you can completely skip this section and move along. If not, don’t worry we’ve got you covered.

The BMI or the Body Mass Index is the indirect calculation of the composition of the body. Basically, by having a measurement of your BMI you find out just how much body fat you have stored. We mention that’s it’s an indirect measure because with the calculation of the BMI we aren’t isolating the amount of fat stored in your body and weighing it on a machine to provide a number. Rather, by using your height and your weight, we get an average determination of whether you are under weight, overweight or if you fall in within the normal weight bracket. Now the BMI, because it’s only a calculated estimation but not a direct measurement of the body fat content, it can only be used as a classification tool, not as a guaranteed diagnostic tool in any way. What’s more, a BMI does not take into consideration the limitations or you might even call them anomalies. For example, a body builder who has a below average height but has more muscle mass will still be classified within the overweight bracket despite having a low body fat composition.

Now let’s talk about the BMR.

BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate. This is the calculation of the amount of energy your body utilizes in a day to function and perform its daily activities. It takes into account the amount of energy expended due to your movements and activities, the digestion and digestive processes as well as the energy used by the body for the vital body functions which keep us alive.

Now you might be wondering why you would need to regularly track your BMI and your BMR to lose weight. The thing is, you don’t.

You only have to calculate your BMI once, because it remains somewhat standard until you’ve lost a significant amount of weight to change your determining category.

Your BMR on the other hand, can help you effectively drop the stubborn pounds when you never have before. When calculating the BMR, it takes into consideration you weight, height, your age and gender. When calculated, the BMR provides a number of calories, or energy units consumed which are necessary for optimal functionality of your body. This number is essentially the amount of energy you need for you to stay alive and well even if you were to not move from your bed all day.
