BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate which defines the calories need to maintain vital organ's functioning. So calories we intake expand in major three activity. We consume energy for the vital functions of our body, Physical Activity, and the thematic effect of food. This TDEE calculator may help you to lose weight.

It also maintains your body weight. It consumes 65-75% of the calories we intake daily.
