Change in BMR?
Hi, So I started at around 121 several weeks ago and when I signed up this site calculated my BMR at 1,640. Now I<m down to around 117 and decided to use this same site to recalculate my BMR for kicks and it said it was 1,360... But recalculating my BMR didn't change anything automatically in my goals or daily intake,…
