Does being hypo affect our BMR? How do you know how many calories you burn each day just by surviving?

    Yes having hypo does affect our BMR. I went to the doctor and had mine tested before I was actually even diagnosed with the hashimotos/hypo. Knowing that number has been a HUGE help in the setting calorie goals.

    Was it lower than a normal person with a healthy thyroid?
