BMR Calculator Tool
Introduction
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the minimum calories your body requires to perform essential functions while at rest. Understanding your BMR is crucial for managing calorie intake for weight loss, maintenance, or muscle building. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equations for men and women.
How the BMR Calculator Works
These formulas are based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:
For Men:
BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height cm) − (5.677 × age years)
BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height cm) − (5.677 × age years)
For Women:
BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height cm) − (4.330 × age years)
BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height cm) − (4.330 × age years)
