Burn calories and lifestyle


The speed at which your body burns calories is determined by the metabolic rate. The factors that affect metabolic rate include height, weight, genetic tendencies and the amount of lean body tissue or muscle. The calorie intake is affected by different levels of activity.

Those who perform many physical exercises may need up to three thousand calories more than the recommended daily average. People who have a sedentary lifestyle may need as less than the recommended daily allowance to maintain body weight.
