BMR Calculator

What is BMR?

BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate, is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions, such as breathing, circulation, and cell production, while at rest. It represents the minimum amount of energy required to keep your body functioning.

How We Calculate BMR

In our app, we use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate BMR:

Male:
    bmr = 10 * weight + 6.25 * height - 5 * age - 161
Female:
    bmr = 10 * weight + 6.25 * height - 5 * age + 5

Important Note

Please note that while the Mifflin-St Jeor equation is a widely accepted method for calculating BMR, it may not be entirely accurate for everyone. Factors such as muscle mass, lifestyle, and other individual differences can influence your actual BMR. Therefore, the value calculated by our app should be considered an estimate.
