    CLIMATE

    Temperature outside the body also affects basal


    metabolic rate. Exposure to cold temperature causes
    an increase in the BMR, so as to create the extra heat
    needed to maintain the body's internal temperature. A
    short exposure to hot temperature has little effect on
    the body's metabolism as it is compensated mainly by
    increased heat loss. But prolonged exposure to heat
    can raise BMR.

    OCCUPATION/JOB

    A person that has a job that involves a lot of


    physical work (e.g.. Construction worker) will need
    more energy and their BMR increases.
    On the other hand, if a person has a job that
    does not involve a lot of physical work (e.g.. Office
    worker), they will need less energy and their BMR
    decreases.
    AGE
    The BMR and daily energy
    requirement decreases with age.
    Babies experience rapid growth and need more
    energy.
    Children have a slower growth rate, therefore need
    less energy than babies but still grow actively.
    For adults, energy requirement will increase
    because of the large body size but the energy
    requirement per body mass reduces because growth
    has decreased.
     Energy requirement for old people are less
    because they are less active and do not do much
    physical work.

    BODY WEIGHT & BODY SIZE

    The heavier your weight and the bigger your body


    size, the higher your BMR.
    The metabolic rate of a heavier women is higher than
    the metabolic rate of a less heavy women.
    This is because the heart will need more energy to
    pump blood around the body and transport oxygen for
    cell respiration.
    (Reminder: A big body size means that there are
    more cells.)
    LIFESTYLE PREGNANCY

     If a person’s lifestyle A pregnant woman need to


    does not include a lot of consume more food that is
    physical exercise, they high in energy as to
    require less energy and provide the sufficient
    their BMR is less requirements for the
    compared to a person that development of the foetus.
    is active doing physical
    exercise.

    LACTATION SEX
    (To lactate means to
    Men have greater
    produce milk) muscle mass and a
    lower body fat
     Mother’s milk consists of percentage. This means
    protein, carbohydrate in the they have a higher BMR
    form of lactose, fat, water, and require more energy
    vitamins and minerals. compare to women.
     A mother that
    breastfeeds her baby will
    need more energy than a Rabbito
