Basal Metabolic Rate Adjustment

Meaning

Basal Metabolic Rate Adjustment is the clinical process of intentionally modifying the body’s energy expenditure at rest to achieve specific health or weight management outcomes. The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the minimum amount of energy required to maintain essential physiological functions, such as respiration, circulation, and thermoregulation, in a resting state. Adjustments are often necessary to address metabolic slowdowns associated with aging, chronic dieting, or thyroid dysfunction. Successful BMR adjustment is key to long-term body composition management and energy balance.
