Maintaining a healthy weight requires ________. a. monitoring caloric intake b. regulating energy output c. increasing metabolic rate with age d. Both a and $\mathrm{b}$ are correct.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy that must be consumed by a person at rest to maintain his or her body weight. BMR depends on several factors, including sex, age, height, and weight. The following graph shows the BMR for a $6^{\prime} 0^{\prime \prime} 45$ -year-old male. For this person, how does BMR correlate with weight? How many more calories must a 250 -pound man consume to maintain his weight than a 200-pound man? Why does BMR depend on weight?

What is the relationship between BMR and body size? Why?
