Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weight gain can lead to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is the number of calories the body burns at rest. This occurs because the body requires more energy to maintain and move the additional body mass. As a result, the BMR may be reset to a higher level to support the increased energy demands of the body.
