A normal BMI doesn't necessarily mean a slim chance of diabetes and heart disease. In a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, one quarter of normal weight adults had a trio of symptoms - high blood pressure, triglycerides and blood glucose - that put them at risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The best remedy is to stay active, stop smoking and consume more heart-healthy foods.
You use energy no matter what you’re doing, even when sleeping. The BMR Calculator will calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR); the number of calories you’d burn if you stayed in bed all day.
If you’ve noticed that every year, it becomes harder to eat whatever you want and stay slim, you’ve also learnt that your BMR decreases as you age. Likewise, depriving yourself of food in hopes of losing weight also decreases your BMR, a foil to your intentions. However, a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise can increase your BMR, improving your health and fitness when your body’s ability to burn energy gradually slows down.
Once you know your BMR, you can calculate your Daily Calorie Needs based on your activity level using the Harris Benedict Equation.
