Metabolic Rate? Does anyone know anything about it?!
Question: Metabolic Rate!? Does anyone know anything about it!?
How about some good articles or books!? I am really interested and would like to do some research on the subject!.

Answers:
Your rate of calorie burn is equal to your Basal (resting) Metabolic Rate + calories burned due to activity (exercise, digestion,etc)!.
In turn, your Basal Metabolic Rate (the rate at which you burn calories even when you are asleep) is primarily a function of your lean mass and your thyroid function!.
Here is a page about how to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate:

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans)!. The release of energy in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, brain and the rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles and skin!. BMR decreases with age and with the loss of lean body mass!. Increased muscle mass can increase BMR!. Aerobic fitness level, a product of cardiovascular exercise, while previously thought to have effect on basal or resting metabolic rate (RMR), has been shown in the 1990s not to correlate with BMR, when fat-free body mass was adjusted for (see following section "Aerobic vs!. anaerobic exercise" for references)!. Illness, previously consumed food and beverages, environmental temperature, and stress levels can affect one's overall energy expenditure as well as one's BMR!.
BMR is measured under very restrictive circumstances when a person is awake, but at complete rest!. An accurate BMR measurement requires that the person's sympathetic nervous system not be stimulated!. A more common and closely related measurement, used under less strict conditions, is resting metabolic rate (RMR)!.[1]
BMR and RMR are measured by gas analysis through either direct or indirect calorimetry, though a rough estimation can be acquired through an equation using age, sex, height, and weight!. Studies of energy metabolism using both methods provide convincing evidence for the validity of the respiratory quotient (R!.Q!.), which measures the inherent composition and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins as they are converted to energy substrate units that can be used by the body as energy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
