Basal metabolic rate (the rate of energy consumption "at rest" without any physical or mental exertion) has declined in the US since the 1980s. Down 220 kcal/day on average for males and 122 kcal/day for females.
We are currently expending about 220 kcal/d less for males and 122 kcal/d less for females

We are currently expending about 220 kcal/d less for males and 122 kcal/d less for females than people of our age and body composition were in the late 1980s. These changes are sufficient to explain the obesity epidemic in the USA. @KevinH_PhD 7/https://t.co/N0gLjkbwJd
