As you become more fit and develop more lean muscle mass, you increase your basal metabolic rate even further.

Background: The total energy cost of pregnancy is largely due to an elevated basal metabolic rate (BMR).

TEE was measured by the DLW method, and the PAL was calculated from TEE divided by basal metabolic rate.

Metabolism is simply the total of all body processes that burn calories-yourbasal metabolic rate plus your activity factor.

Such estimates can be calculated using either increases in basal metabolic rate (BMR) or increases in total energy expenditure (TEE).

Sleeping and basal metabolic rates on the night following exercise were raised even at low intensities of exercise.

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was measured by whole-body indirect calorimetry and body composition by a variety of standard in vivo methods.

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) was depressed during the first 18 wk of gestation, causing total cumulative maintenance costs by week 36 to be 8.4 MJ.
