What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic physiological functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, considered one of the most accurate methods for calculating BMR. It factors in your weight, height, age, and gender.

Using Your Results

Your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) shows how many calories you burn based on your activity level. Use this to plan your diet for weight loss, maintenance, or gain.

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

For Men

BMR = (10 × weight[kg]) + (6.25 × height[cm]) - (5 × age) + 5

For Women

BMR = (10 × weight[kg]) + (6.25 × height[cm]) - (5 × age) - 161
