{% blocktrans %}The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy expended daily at rest. This is the minimum energy needed for the body to function, without any additional physical activity.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}The physical activity level (PAL) is a factor used to to express the additional physical activity and is used to calculate the total energy required per day.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}The base caloric intake is the amount of calories your metabolism needs based on your level of physical activity.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}The total calories are the actual total calories per day. This might include e.g. a surplus or deficit if you are bulking or cutting. Alternatively you might just enter yourself the amount of calories if you know the value.{% endblocktrans %}
