How It Works

Enter your gender, age, height, and weight. Your BMR updates instantly using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.

Men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5. Women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161 (W in kg, H in cm, A in years)

Example

A 30-year-old male, 175cm, 70kg has a BMR of about 1,674 calories/day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMR used for?
BMR is the baseline for estimating your total daily calorie needs — multiply it by an activity factor to get your maintenance calories.
Why does gender affect the result?
Men typically have more lean muscle mass than women at the same weight, which raises resting energy expenditure — the formula accounts for this with a fixed offset.
