§
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.
