BMR Calculator
Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.
πWhat Is BMR and How Is It Calculated?
Mifflin-St Jeor Equation (most accurate)
Male: 10W + 6.25H β 5A + 5 | Female: 10W + 6.25H β 5A β 161
- 1BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate β the number of calories your body burns at complete rest just to maintain basic functions (breathing, circulation, cell repair).
- 2W = Weight (kg), H = Height (cm), A = Age (years).
- 3Men have a slightly higher BMR than women due to greater average muscle mass (+5 vs β161 constant).
- 4Multiply BMR by an activity factor to get TDEE β your actual daily calorie burn.
* BMR accounts for roughly 60β75% of total daily calorie expenditure for most people.
