How it works

Basal metabolic rate uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age + s, where s is +5 for men and −161 for women.

Assumptions & limits

  • Estimates resting energy for an average healthy adult.
  • For general fitness and education only — not a medical or diagnostic tool.

FAQ

Is BMR the same as calories burned?
No — BMR is energy at complete rest. Multiply by an activity factor (see the TDEE calculator) for daily needs.
