What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns while at complete rest. This is the minimum energy required to keep your body functioning, including breathing, circulation, and cell production.

How is BMR Calculated?

We use the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is considered one of the most accurate BMR formulas:

• Men: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) + 5
• Women: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age(y) - 161

How to Use Your BMR:

Your BMR tells you how many calories you burn at rest. To find your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), multiply your BMR by your activity level factor. This helps you determine how many calories you need to maintain, lose, or gain weight.
