the rate at which the body burns calories just to keep itself alive. 381

The body's energy expenditure while at rest. This represents the energy requirements for maintaining life, consisting mostly of maintenance of temperature, heart rate, breathing nerve transmission, electrochemical gradients across cell membranes and the energy cost of protein turnover required to maintain cells.

(BMR) the rate of energy utilization in the body required to maintain essential activities such as breathing

amount of energy we use to keep body alive and healthy.

(BMR): is the rate at which energy is used by the body to maintain basal metabolism.

The minimum rate of energy turnover in an awake (but resting) bird or mammal that is not expending energy for thermoregulation.

the minimum energy requirements of the body when the individual is awake and at digestive, physical and emotional rest.

Gk. basis, foundation + metabole, change] The minimal number of kilocalories a resting animal requires to fuel itself for a given time.

The rate at which the body uses energy for maintaining involuntary functions such as cellular activity, respiration, and heartbeat when at rest.

The energy requirements necessary for maintenance of life processes such as heart beat, breathing and cell metabolic activities.

The number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain normal body functions.

The energy needs of an individual at rest. Also referred to by some as the Resting Energy Expenditure (REE)

The resting metabolic rate of a normal fasting individual under homeostatic conditions.

the lowest rate of metabolism while at a state of rest.

is the rate at which energy is used by the body to maintain basal metabolism when a person is awake but inactive and has fasted for 14 to 18 hours. The BMR typically accounts for 60 to 70 percent of daily energy use, but its value depends on body weight and other factors. Binge Eating is an eating disorder characterized by eating more food than most people would eat in a given amount of time, and feeling that what is being eaten and how much is being eaten is out of the control of the person doing the eating.

the rate at which heat is produced by an individual in a resting state

The lowest rate of body metabolism (rate of energy use) that can sustain life, measured after a full night's sleep in a laboratory under optimal conditions of quiet, rest and relaxation.

is the amount of calories consumed by the body without any activity or exercise. The common units are given in calories per day.

rate at which the body burns calories over a 24 hour period, while at complete rest.

The approximate number of calories required by the body at complete rest (all non-voluntary functions). Calories (energy), expended for activity and exercise are above and beyond BMR.

The rate of metabolism, or how fast the body uses calories and oxygen to produce energy.

The energy required to maintain vital processes in the human body.

a measurement of energy required to keep the body functioning at rest. Measured in calories, metabolic rates increase with exertion, stress, fear, and illness.

the body's resting level of energy expenditure. Individuals with a chronic infection often have an elevated basal metabolic rate.

The metabolic rate as measured under basal conditions: 12 hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise or activity preceding test, elimination of emotional excitement and occurring in a comfortable temperature.

Your metabolic rate, or the rate you consume calories, at rest. Muscle requires a higher BMR than fat.

Metabolic rate at rest, your bodies working output.

the minimum number of kilocalories a resting animal requires to sustain basic physiological processes.

BMR refers to the rate of oxygen consumption by the body when it's at complete rest or long after a meal.

The rate of metabolism measured under standard or basal conditions considered to be awake, at rest and fasting)

BMR is the measure of energy your body is metabolizing when it's at rest.

the amount of calories/hour/m2 of body surface required to maintain the essential body functions in absolute resting and fasting conditions.

temperature of the body at the time of awakening.

The rate at which the body expends energy while at rest.

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans). The release of energy in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, brain and the rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles and skin. BMR decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass.
