You don't understand the difference between the two. Basal metabolism is the minimum calorie consumption required by the human body to maintain normal physiology for one day. Weight loss needs to control calories, that is, the calories consumed are less than the calories consumed by the body. For example, if your body's basal metabolism is 65,438+0,800 calories and your daily exercise consumes 400 calories, then your daily calorie consumption is 2,200 calories. If you want to lose weight, you must consume less than 2200 calories a day.
