BMR refers to the energy needed to maintain basic metabolic functions at rest, like breathing and organ function. It is the minimum calories burned while lying still all day.BMR decreases with age or weight loss and increases with more muscle mass.
TDEE is a measure of how many calories the body burns throughout the day, including basal metabolism, activity, and eating. Different lifestyles require different calories.When your daily calories are equal to your TDEE, you reach "calorie balance."
