What is your Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) mean? Think of your car again... Even when your car is idling it must have gas to run. In fact, without gas your car won't even start.
Does your car use as much gas when it idles as when you are driving? No - of course not. Our bodies work the same way. When we are inactive, we use far less 'gas' but we still need 'gas' to run. And unlike our cars and trucks, our bodies are constantly running internally! How fast is my Metabolism? Think of your car again... A small car may get many miles per gallon whereas a larger car will get far less. Kids expend a tremendous amount of energy because they are growing and are generally very active. The speed of your Metabolism is influenced by many things such as:
