    Indirect calorimetry and bomb calorimetry are two methods used to measure metabolic rate. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum energy needed for basic bodily functions and can be calculated using the Harris Benedict equation which considers factors like gender, weight, height, and age. Conditions like being at rest, in a temperature-controlled room, and fasting for 12 hours are required before accurately measuring BMR.

    BMR (Basal Mrtabolic Rate)
    -> minimum energy requirements for bodily
    processes, consist of : muscle tone,
    respiratory, cell metabolism, temperature
    regulation and circulatory system
    Some conditions that must be considered
    before counting:
    • Physical rest and emotional rest
    • The room must be on normal temperature
    • Not eating or drinking about 12 hours before
    counting BMR
    How to calculate?
    Man: 66 + (13,7 X W) + (5 X H) – (6,8 X A)
    Woman: 65,5 + (9,6 X W) + (1,8 X H) – (64,7 X A)
    The formulas by Harris Benedict (1318)
    There’s several factors that influence:
    -Gender
    -Ages
    -Activity
    -Body Postures
