The first factor is our basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

第一个因素就是基础代谢率，也就是 BMR。

Humans and all other animals have what's called a basal metabolic rate.

人类和所有其他动物都有所谓的基础代谢率。

In other words, whenever AEE increased, one's basal metabolic rate dropped, thus leading to an energy compensation.

换句话说，当 AEE 增加时，一个人的基础代谢率下降，从而导致能量补偿。

We burn calories just for being alive, commonly known as our basal metabolic rate, BMR, which is all the calories expended during rest.

我们燃烧卡路里是为了生存，通常被称为我们的基础代谢率，BMR，即休息时消耗的所有卡路里。

Unless you're a professional athlete, most of our calorie expenditure is accounted for by our basal metabolic rate.

除非你是一名职业运动员，否则我们的大部分卡路里消耗都是由我们的基础代谢率决定的。
