Key Metrics for Wellness

BMR vs. TDEE: Understanding Calorie Needs

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest.

However, your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) includes BMR plus the calories burned through all daily activities (exercise, walking, digestion). The TDEE is the critical number for weight management—eating less than your TDEE leads to weight loss, while eating more leads to weight gain.

The Zone: Targeting Your Heart Rate

For effective cardiovascular training, it's essential to stay within your Target Heart Rate (THR) Zone. This zone is typically $50\%$ to $85\%$ of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), which is estimated by the simple formula: $$\text{MHR} = 220 - \text{Age}$$

Exercising below this zone may not yield cardiovascular benefits, while exercising above it can be too strenuous and unsustainable for long periods.
