What is meant by BMR?

Basal metabolic rate (BMR), and the closely related resting metabolic rate (RMR), is the amount of daily 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, the heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, liver, intestine, sex organs, muscles, and skin.

Dulu-dulu tak faham, ingatkan kalau makan kurang bilangan kalori, bagus la untuk badan. Tapi bila tengok Biggest Loser, nampak peserta exhausted kalau tak makan as per calorie requirement per day. Tu tengok kat sidebar tu, BMR korang berapa? (Aini, Kak Tini & myself)

Semenjak terjebak dengan website MyFitnessPal, my diet has been based on calorie counting.
Dulu minum MILO hari-hari (saya hantu MILO), tapi bila tahu 1 cup of MILO is 300 cals, terus mengurangkan minuman tersebut.

Dulu ada juga buat diet planner, hahaha.. tapi takde buat calorie counting. Terkagum dengan myfitnesspal sebab hari tu taip Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai pun siap ada bilangan kalorinya. Huhu, kagum japs.. Database dia very wide.




So korang apa lagi, pergilah register kat situ nak buat calorie counting! Invitation ni pun untuk ARAM club

Thanks Aida. maksu pun baru nak start monitor calorie intake. It would be easier with this tool.

Ida, kira calorie reqt based on our weight and activity level. My calorie reqt based on sedentary is 1,716 kcal to maintain current weight. To lose weight, kena tolak between 250 - 500.
