We’ve done a thorough review of the literature on the latest BMR science digging into the research on factors that affect BMR.
On one level, this series will explain the “whys” behind MacroFactor’s BMR formulas, but on a more basic level, it’ll serve as a comprehensive resource to teach you everything you need to know about resting energy expenditure.
If you compare two people who are the same height, same weight, same age, same sex, and who have the same body composition, could those two people still have BMRs that differ by 500+ calories per day? The answer might surprise you. Read this article to dig into the research on the subject, and learn what it means for how you approach your diet goals.
If you want to calculate your energy needs for weight gain, weight loss, or athletic performance, you first need to estimate your basal metabolic rate: how many Calories your body burns at rest. But there are at least 248 different BMR equations. Which equation is best, and which one should you use to estimate your energy needs?
This article looks at the key factors that determine your basal metabolic rate (BMR), from fat-free tissues to vital organs.
People with more fat-free mass usually have higher BMRs. But is that the sole reason men typically have higher BMRs, or are there other factors at play?
It’s widely believed that “your metabolism slows down with age.” This article delves into the research to uncover the truth behind that claim.
It’s commonly believed that athletes have higher BMRs than non-athletes because their training leads to increased muscle mass. While athletes do indeed have higher BMRs, muscle mass differences aren’t the only factor.
This article looks at how weight loss can influence your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and discusses the impact of metabolic adaptation.
This article examines how weight gain can affect your basal metabolic rate (BMR).
We’ve arrived at the conclusion of the BMR series, and it’s time to apply all that we’ve learned and introduce MacroFactor’s new BMR estimation equations.
This article helps you understand the range of BMR, continuing our effort to clarify what’s considered “normal.”
There are substantial claims that women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have a lower Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which has fueled concerns about weight management challenges. This article dives into the origin of these concerns.
