Which of the following is true about BMR?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories the body needs to function at rest. It is influenced by age, gender, and weight, among other factors. Physical activity does influence the total number of calories burned each day, but it does not directly affect BMR. Option A is incorrect, and option B is false since there are ways to increase BMR (such as building muscle mass or increasing thyroid function). Option D is also incorrect since BMR refers to the calories burned at rest, not during physical activity.
