BMR STANDS FOR BASAL METABOLIC RATE<\/strong>
\n BMI FOR BODY MASS INDEX<\/strong>
\n Both parameters are important for those who are concerned about their health and fitness.Body Mass Index is represented in kilogram per square meter.Metric system unit are more commonly used.You need two things,your body mass in kg and height in meter.Since we commonly use smaller unit for height,that is centimeter;you need to fill it in centimeter under metric system tab.You can also calculate it manually by dividing your body weight in kg by height in meter square.You can get height in meter by dividing your height in centimeter by 100.Suppose your height is 180 centimeter and weight is 80 kg.<\/strong>
\n First you convert your height 180 cm to 180\/100=1.80 meter.<\/strong>
\n So on calculation BMI=80\/1.80 X 1.80 =24.7 approx.<\/strong>
\n The BMI calculator does same calculation and gives result.In BMI calculator you are required to fill just the value of your height in cm and weight in kilogram under metric tab and calculator gives you the result.<\/strong>
\n If your height is measured in inches and mass in pounds you can use following formula:<\/strong>
\n BMI=MASS (POUND)\/HEIGHT(INCHES)SQUARE X 703<\/strong>
\n Body Mass Index is also known as Quetlet index because it is devised by Adolf Quetlet when he was developing social physics.<\/strong>
\n On the basis of body mass index a person can be classified as:<\/strong>
\n BMI. Category<\/strong>
\n <18.5. Underweight<\/strong>
\n 18.5 to 25. Optimal(normal)Weight<\/strong>
\n 25 to <30. Overweight<\/strong>
\n =>30. Obese<\/strong>
\n It is worth noting that in athelete whose muscle mass is more can have less fat percentage despite high BMI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

BMR (BASAL METABOLIC RATE)-DURING REST THE WARM BLOODED ANIMAL’S MINIMUM ENERGY EXPENDITURE PER UNIT TIME IS CALLED (BMR BASAL METABOLIC RATE).HUMAN BEINGS ARE ALSO WARM BLOODED.IN FACT IN ANIMAL KINGDOM UNDER SUPERCLASS TETRAPODA WHICH INCLUDES AMPHIBIA ,REPTILIA,AVES AND MAMMALIA ONLY TWO SUPERCLASSES THAT ARE AVES(BIRDS) AND (MAMMALIA)ARE WARM BLOODED.HUMAN BEINGS ARE UNDER MAMMALIA.<\/strong>
\n Warm blooded means the body temperature doesnot changes with the change in external environment temperature.This means if you go in hot zones your inner temperature would not increase and if you go in cold zones your inner body temperature will not decrease.This previlage the nature has given to birds and mammals only,so they are capable of migrating to different climatic zones and adapting themselselves.Thermoregulation mechanism of their body keeps their temperature stabilized in extremes of the environment.Reptilians are not capable of thermoregulation,that is why Dyanosaurs got extincted according to recent theories.<\/strong>
\n So lets come to BMR again-It is the minimal rate of energy lost per unit time in warm blooded animals at rest.Further rest means the individual is totally relaxed physically and psychologically and under normal environmental temperature,neither too hot nor to cold.Even his stomach should not have food for digestion.<\/strong>
\n BMR USUALLY DECREASES WITH AGE,AND DECREASE IN LEAN BODY MASS.ANAEROBIC EXERCISE; CLAIMED BY SOME,INCREASES BMR.Increase BMR may contribute for the weight loss.
