Listen "The BIGGEST calorie burner you have [Metabolism Series 2 of 5]"
Episode Synopsis
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the biggest slice of the metabolism pie—responsible for 60-70% of the calories you burn daily.

This is part 2 of a 5-part series on Metabolism this week. We are offering a free Nutrition 101 guide that shows you exactly how to estimate your true, dynamic metabolism to determine what calories and macros you need.
