Good morning my lovelies ❤️🖤❤️. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body requires to carry out daily functions — and accounts for 50–70% of the energy your body uses. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn even at rest. Physical activity produces heat in your body, called “thermic effect.” It’s the second largest contributor to calorie expenditure at 20%. There are approximately 3,500 calories in one pound of fat.
