Best Answer

Metabolism is worked out using BMR. BMR stands for your basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of cals you burn doing nothing, just allowing your body to run.

The larger you are (weight or height) the higher your BMR will be.

The older you are the lower your BMR will be due to muscle loss year on year.

If you have a lot of muscle compared to fat your BMR will be higher.
