BMR Calculator
Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the minimum amount of energy your body needs to perform essential functions while at rest. This includes breathing, circulating blood, regulating body temperature, and cell growth.
Your BMR accounts for about 60-75% of the calories you burn daily. Understanding your BMR can help you establish effective nutrition and fitness goals.
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is considered the most accurate formula for calculating BMR:
- For men: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) + 5
- For women: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) - 161
