How the Calculator Works
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions such as breathing and digestion. It then multiplies your BMR by an activity factor that corresponds to your lifestyle. The formula is:
- For men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height in cm) – (5.677 × age in years)
- For women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height in cm) – (4.330 × age in years)
The result is then multiplied by the following activity factors:
- Sedentary: BMR × 1.2
- Light: BMR × 1.375
- Moderate: BMR × 1.55
- Active: BMR × 1.725
- Very Active: BMR × 1.9
Limitations
