Eventually cells of the body would die....as the metabolic rate would decrease as thyroxine, released by thyroid gland, controls metabolic rate.
What are three components of energy expenditure?
1. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) or basal metabolic rate (BMR), which equals sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) and arousal. 2. The thermogenic effect of food. 3. Exercise, or daily physical activity and spontaneous physical activity (SPA).
What are the components of total energy expenditure?
1. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) or basal metabolic rate (BMR), which equals sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) and arousal. 2. The thermogenic effect of food. 3. Exercise, or daily physical activity and spontaneous physical activity (SPA).
Will my resting metabolic rate increase or decrease with weight loss?
You resting metabolism rate will decrease as you weight decreases. That is because a higher body mass will take more energy to function, thus resulting in a higher metabolism rate.
What is basal metabolic?
This refers to the metabolic RATE of metabolism at rest. Maximum sustained rate is about 10 times higher. Minimum (when you're sleeping) is about 60 to 75% of basal. For an adult human it's equivalent of consuming about 250 cc of Oxygen per minute.
