Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is an estimate of how many calories you’d burn if you were to do nothing but rest for 24 hours. It represents the minimum amount of energy needed to keep your body functioning, including breathing and keeping your heart beating. Your BMR does not include the calories you burn from normal daily activities or exercise.
Most experts recommend dropping calories no lower than 1200 per day. This is because your body NEEDS CALORIES TO FUNCTION. Your organs and simple activities such as breathing, eating, even sitting.. expend calories. Make sure you are in a healthy range for your height, age, weight, gender and activity level! There is NO NEED to starve to lose weight.
