Maximize Your Metabolism
By Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H.

Exercise training helps you burn more calories both during the day - and at night.
Resting Metabolism
Total Caloric Expenditure is simply the total amount of calories that your body burns in one day.
The vast majority of calories expended are used for the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or the “Resting Metabolism.” (Lean-Protein Estimator)
This BMR accounts for over 70% of an individual’s total calories used in one day.
These are the calories your body uses to keep your engine running.
Your body is like your car. Think of turning your car engine on in the morning and just letting it run in the driveway.
The car sitting in the driveway burning fuel is like your BMR. The bigger the car engine, the more fuel it uses.
So a big truck burns lots of fuel and gets maybe eight miles to the gallon while an economy car uses little fuel
and gets 40 miles to the gallon. If you pushed down on the gas pedal and revved the engine, you would be burning more fuel,
which is basically what you do when you exercise.
The amount of muscle you have determines how many calories you burn everyday in a resting state.
Each pound of muscle burns approximately 14 calories per day, so a big football player may burn over 3,000
calories/day at rest (BMR=3000). Meanwhile a tall and thin ballerina may burn only 1,200 calories/day at rest (BMR=1200).
When you exercise, you build more muscle mass and increase the size of your engine, which is a good thing.
That means that even while you sleep you will be burning more calories because you have increased your BMR.
Imagine taking a small economy car and putting in a bigger engine that requires more fuel. That is the basic
idea behind exercise training, fine-tuning your body’s engine into a high-performance machine.
