METABOLISM & HEALTHY WEIGHT
You burn a certain number of calories just by breathing air, digesting food, and circulating blood. Energy balance is the relationship between “energy in” (calories taken in through food and drink) and “energy out” (calories burned). This is your metabolism at work. The number of calories your body uses to carry out these basic functions is known as your basal metabolic rate, or what you may call metabolism.
