Is Your Metabolic Rate Affecting Your Weight or Energy Levels?
Struggling to lose weight or feel energised despite eating well and exercising? Our Accredited Practising Dietitian in Everton Park, Brisbane, can help you understand and support your metabolism with a tailored nutrition plan.
Are you eating well and staying active, but still finding it hard to shift stubborn weight or feel energised? Your metabolic rate might be a key factor.
At North West Physio Everton Park, our Accredited Practising Dietitian helps people across Brisbane understand how their metabolism impacts their energy, weight, and overall health — and what to do to optimise it through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
What Is Your Metabolic Rate?
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the amount of energy your body burns at rest to keep essential functions going — like breathing, thinking, and maintaining body temperature.
It’s sometimes called your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and makes up the largest part of your daily calorie needs.
Your metabolic rate can vary between individuals and is influenced by many factors, including:
-
Age and gender
-
Hormone balance
-
Muscle mass
-
Food intake and nutrition quality
-
Stress levels and sleep
-
Certain health conditions and medications
When your metabolism slows down, you may notice weight gain, fatigue, or difficulty maintaining muscle — even when your habits haven’t changed.
How Your Metabolism Affects Weight and Energy
A healthy metabolism helps your body efficiently use the energy from food, maintain lean muscle, and manage body fat.
However, if your metabolic rate is lower than expected, you may find it harder to lose weight or feel energised.
By understanding how your metabolism works, you can make informed choices around:
-
Portion sizes and meal timing
-
Protein and nutrient intake
-
Exercise and recovery
-
Managing stress and sleep
