Detailed explanation-1: -You can’t change things like your sex, age or height, but you can certainly commit to regularly exercise. Increasing your amount or level of physical activity is the easiest way to increase your BMR.
Detailed explanation-2: -Individuals who are younger, more active, taller, and heavier have greater caloric needs. If you do have body fat/lean mass then you can use the Katch-Mcardle formula.
