3. BMR (BASAL METABOLIC RATE)
Basal Metabolic Rate is the rate at which the body burns calories to maintain normal body functions while at
rest. BMR is the largest factor in determining overall metabolic rate and how many calories you need to
maintain, lose or gain weight.
To lose weight, you should try to eat fewer calories than your basic calorie need. In order to lose weight,
calories should not be your only concern. Exercise is vital, too.
Refer to the list to determine what body type you are. Type 1 is slim body type, Type 5 is normal body type,
and Type 9 is over-weight body type.
When you know which type you are and structure your diet and exercise correctly for that type, you will
make much better progress toward reaching your fitness and weight loss goals.
Type 1: 5% to 9% Type 6: 30% to 34%
Type 2: 10% to 14% Type 7: 35% to 39%
Type 3: 15% to 19% Type 8: 40% to 44%
Type 4: 20% to 24% Type 9: 45% to 50%
