Knowing your basal metabolic rate is part of keeping that energy balance where you want it.
Bear in mind that people of the same height, weight, and gender can have different basal metabolic rates. Some people are simply born with a more active “internal engine” that requires more calories.
In addition, a fit 150-pound person is likely to have a higher basal metabolic rate than an unfit 150-pounder of the same height and gender, because the fit person probably has more muscle and less fat than the unfit person.That said, the figure this tool provides gives you a rough idea of your at-rest caloric needs, which is consistent from day to day. Add to that the calories you burn per day from running and other activities, and you get your overall calorie needs.
