BMR Calculator
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is: calories per day.
BMR Calculator
Do you want to know how many calories you burn in a single day? Use the expert-backed Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator, which provides an estimated number of calories your body burns in a day, even when at rest or sleeping.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest. It is the largest component of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), which is the number of calories you burn each day.
BMR is influenced by a number of factors, including:
Age: BMR decreases with age.
Sex: Men tend to have a higher BMR than women.
Muscle mass: Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue.
Body composition: People with a higher percentage of body fat tend to have a lower BMR.
Genetics: Some people are simply born with a higher BMR than others.
How to calculate BMR
There are a number of different ways to calculate BMR. One common method is to use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:
For men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H – 5A + 5
For women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H – 5A – 161
