How many calories burned per day?
This question refers to how many calories burned in a day without exercise. Yes, your body does burn calories when you are doing nothing, even when you are sleeping. I call it ‘idle calorie burn’ or in scientific terms is called basal metabolic rate. This is calories used up by your body to perform routine metabolic tasks like breathing, power your pumping heart, talking, brain activity etc. Therefore how much calories you burn per day without any physical activity is the equivalent of your basal metabolic rate. Naturally, if you do any exercises or are active, then you use up more calories and the figure rises. Your basal metabolic rate is done with a simple calculation. The formula takes your weight, age, height, sex and level of physical activity into consideration. Go see the simple formula on calculating how many calories do I need a day on that page. Having the knowledge about calories burned during exercise is the first step towards turbocharging your basal metabolic rate provid
