What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production while at complete rest.

Formulas Used

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:
Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5
Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
Harris-Benedict Equation:
Men: 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height in cm) - (5.677 × age in years)
Women: 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height in cm) - (4.330 × age in years)
