What is BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) & DCI (Daily Caloric Intake) ?

Info Source: http://www.tanita.com/es/faq/#Q:_What_is_BMR___DCI_

Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum level of energy need at rest to function effectively.

A person with a high BMR can burn more calories at rest than a person with a low BMR.

BMR is based on the level of muscle mass.

Daily Caloric Intake (DCI) is the amount of calories you can consume within 24 hours and still maintain your current weight.

Our (Tanita) Ironman scales give the BMR feature and the Innerscan scales give DCI readings.
