    The basal metabolic rate of men is usually around 1300kcal, which is higher than that of women. It is mainly affected by the male physiological structure and is also directly related to the amount of activity in daily life.

    Men's bones are usually stronger, and they usually exercise more, and their demand for nutrients will increase accordingly. They need to consume sufficient nutrients to maintain normal operation of the body. If the nutritional intake is insufficient, they may suffer from symptoms such as general fatigue and increased heart rate. When the basal metabolic rate is high, nutritional metabolism and consumption are faster. However, when the metabolic rate exceeds the normal metabolic rate, it may be pathological. For example, if you have hyperthyroidism or diabetes, nutrients will be consumed faster. You will usually feel symptoms of fatigue and hunger. If it lasts for a long time, you will also experience symptoms such as body immune weight loss and anemia, which are characteristics of chronic wasting diseases. Xiao needs to correct and improve them in time.

    There is usually a certain difference between the basal metabolic rate of men and the basal metabolic rate of women. You need to supplement nutrients appropriately according to your own situation to keep the body's metabolic function within the normal range. When the basal metabolism is relatively slow, it may lead to excessive obesity. Nutrients cannot be converted into energy and consumed and absorbed by the body, and will be converted into fat and accumulated in the body.
