- This calculator will calculate your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). Your BMR, is the energy (measured in calories) expended by the body at rest to maintain normal bodily functions. This continual work makes up about 60-70% of the calories we use ("burn" or expend) and includes the beating of our heart, respiration, and the… (more) maintenance of body temperature.
- To lose 1 pound per week means that you have to consume 500 less calories daily than you burn. (less)
Appreciate the widget. Do have one recommendation though...the "English" button reads "Englis". I'm no programmer (but I did take a look at the HTML generated on the small chance I could make this change and share it back with the community) but it's embedded in the Flash code.
Appreciate any effort to advance the cause. Thanks.
