BMR Calculator will estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is the amount of energy your body burns at rest. Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you burn as your body performs basic (basal) life-sustaining function.
Your BMR defines your basal metabolism rate which makes up about 60-70% of the calories we use (“burn” or expend). This includes the energy your body uses to maintain the basic function of your living and breathing body, including:
The three equations used by the calculator are listed below:
– Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:
where:
In this paragraph, we will go through an example of a BMR calculation for a man. We will have to use the BMR for man formula (Mifflin and St Jeor BMR equation for a man):
BMR (kcal/day) = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) – 5 × age (y) + 5 (kcal/day)
This time we will try to calculate BMR for a woman. We are going to use a slightly different formula – Mifflin and St Jeor BMR equation for women.
BMR (kcal/day)= 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) – 5 × age (y) – 161 (kcal/day)
