Calculate your estimated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and daily calorie needs based on your age, sex, height, weight and activity level.
These values estimate the calories needed to maintain the same body weight at different activity levels.
This calculator uses the Mifflin St Jeor equation.
For men:
For women:
Estimated daily calorie needs are calculated by multiplying BMR by an activity factor.
Vedicaly's BMR Calculator helps estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which represents the approximate amount of energy your body uses while at rest to maintain essential functions such as breathing, circulation and body temperature.
Enter the required information such as your age, sex, height and weight. The calculator will estimate your BMR and display the approximate number of calories your body uses per day at rest.
Basal Metabolic Rate is an estimate of the energy required by your body to perform basic life-sustaining functions while at rest. It does not represent your total daily calorie needs because physical activity and other factors also contribute to daily energy expenditure.
BMR can vary according to factors such as age, sex, height, weight and body composition. Because individuals differ, calculated BMR values should be considered estimates rather than exact measurements.
No. BMR estimates energy expenditure at rest. Your total daily energy expenditure is generally higher because it also includes physical activity and the energy used to digest and process food.
Yes. A BMR estimate can be used as a starting point when estimating total daily energy expenditure by accounting for activity level. The result remains an estimate and individual energy needs can vary.
