Ever wondered where your calories actually go? 🤔
Your body burns energy (calories) every single day, not just when you work out. Here’s how it happens 👇

1️⃣ Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
This is the energy your body uses just to stay alive. Even if you spend the whole day lying in bed, you’d still burn calories to breathe, pump blood, regulate temperature, and keep your organs functioning. This makes up about 60–70% of your total daily calorie burn 🧠💓

2️⃣ Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
Believe it or not, you burn calories while eating. Your body needs energy to digest, absorb, and store nutrients. This accounts for roughly 10% of your daily burn 🍽️

3️⃣ Physical Activity
This includes both your workouts 💪 and your day-to-day movement like walking, cleaning, climbing stairs, or even fidgeting. Together, these can make up 15–30% or more depending on how active you are 🚶‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

In simple terms, you burn calories all day long, not only when you’re exercising. Your body is like an engine that never stops running.

If your goal is to lose fat or improve performance, remember these key points:

✅ Move more throughout the day
✅ Eat balanced meals that fuel your metabolism
✅ Build muscle since it helps increase your calorie burn even at rest

Your metabolism is always working for you. Give it the right fuel and movement, and it will reward you with energy, strength, and lasting results 💥
