Answer 1

The amount of energy (in the form of calories) that the body needs to function while resting for 24 hours is known as the basal metabolic rate, orBMR. This number of calories reflects how much energy your body requires to support vital body functions if, hypothetically, you were resting in bed for an entire day.
