![]() ![]() It’s GOOD to eat, there is so much freedom in that… and in hamburgers :) HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF YOUR BMR This means that it’s GOOD to eat! Read that sentence again…. What happens when we begin to restrict our calories in large quantities is that our metabolism begins to slow, decreasing our opportunity to decrease extra weight (AKA your body is NOT running like the machine it can and should be). Knowledge is power, and most people try to lose weight thinking they need to restrict caloric intake only. So, in order to know how many calories you’re burning while you’re at rest, you have to be able to calculate your BMR. By understanding your BMR, you can begin to understand how many calories you CAN and SHOULD eat, rather than how many calories you need to restrict yourself to lose weight. That means you burn 1,410 every single day by just breathing, blinking, and thinking about food ) You already burn calories just by being alive.īut what does this have to do with exercise? Well, BMR is important to understand because that specific BMR number is unique to YOU. As an example, let’s say your Basal Metabolic Rate is 1,410 calories. BASAL METABOLIC WHO?īasal Metabolic Rate, also known as BMR, is the amount of calories you burn at rest, aka, how many calories it takes for you to just lie there and keep on living. While diving into all these questions regarding if IIFYM is really important, I want to start from the very beginning, Basal Metabolic Rate. If you track your macronutrients (macros), or as I like to say “track your shit!” you’re going to know exactly what proteins, carbs and fats you ate, how they affect your body, and how to have a healthy relationship with food.īut for a lot of other women who have never experienced one of my Jessie’s Girls Training Programs, or my Jessie’s Girls Training Camps, or any kind of if it fits your macros (IIFYM) meal plan, tracking your food intake can be very confusing and overwhelming! From understanding what foods to eat, to understanding how macros fit into the big picture can be a lot to digest…. “Track your macros.” A lot of you have heard me say this time and time again. ![]()
