Men generally have a higher Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) than women.
What does this mean?
BMR: The number of calories burned at rest.
Men’s BMR: 10-20% higher due to:
1. Muscle mass: More muscle requires more energy.
2. Hormonal differences: Testosterone boosts metabolism.
3. Body composition: Generally leaner, less body fat.
Implications:
1. Weight loss: Men tend to lose weight faster.
2. Caloric needs: Men require more calories to maintain weight.
3. Fitness goals: Men may need to adjust exercise and nutrition plans.
Key takeaway:
Understand your body’s unique needs to optimize health and fitness goals.
