Satiety

Work + Heat
Direct calorimetry
Most accurate
From sugars
Indirect Carolimetry
O2 Consumption or CO2 production
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
An individuals Lowest metabolic rate
Usually measured as resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Factors that affect overall metabolic rate
- Age and Sex
- Amount of lean muscle mass
- Activity level - metabolic activity above BMR
- Diet
- Hormones
