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
