Enter Age, Gender and Height ft in — height Feet and the remaining scenario settings to review basal metabolic rate with this tool. BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest.
Select your activity level to calculate TDEE
Mifflin–St Jeor estimate:
Men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5
Women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161The calculation links Age, Gender and Height ft in — height Feet to basal metabolic rate. BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest. Activity and other daily demands make total expenditure a different quantity.
Enter Age, Gender and Height ft in — height Feet and the remaining scenario settings to review basal metabolic rate with this tool. BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest.
Estimate resting energy requirements using the equation selected in the form. Distinguish the baseline estimate from calories used during an entire active day.
BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest. Activity and other daily demands make total expenditure a different quantity.
Prepare Age, Gender, Height ft in — height Feet, Height ft in and Weight lbs. Enter age, height and weight in the requested units, then check which equation and sex coefficient the selected method uses.
BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest. Activity and other daily demands make total expenditure a different quantity. Predictive equations are not metabolic measurements and may fit some individuals poorly. The output is not a minimum diet prescription.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Basal Metabolic Rate: 1510. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is Mifflin–St Jeor estimate: Men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5 Women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161 Enter age, height and weight in the requested units, then check which equation and sex coefficient the selected method uses.
Predictive equations are not metabolic measurements and may fit some individuals poorly. The output is not a minimum diet prescription. For personal care, discuss the measurements and method with a qualified clinician.
Worked bmr calculator example. Set Age = 30; Gender = Female; Height ft in — height Feet = 5; Height ft in = 9; Weight lbs = 160. The corresponding output is Basal Metabolic Rate: 1510. BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest.
Estimate resting energy requirements using the equation selected in the form. Distinguish the baseline estimate from calories used during an entire active day.
Enter age, height and weight in the requested units, then check which equation and sex coefficient the selected method uses.
| Field | Example value | Entry check |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 30 | Use the stated unit and the measurement required by this model. |
| Gender | Female | Use the option required by the selected estimation model. |
| Height ft in — height Feet | 5 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Height ft in | 9 | Keep feet and any inch remainder in their separate fields. |
| Weight lbs | 160 | Use the measurement unit printed beside this field and a consistent measuring technique. |
Relationship used for this example: Mifflin–St Jeor estimate: Men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5 Women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161
BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest. Activity and other daily demands make total expenditure a different quantity.
| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Basal Metabolic Rate | 1510 |
With these settings, basal metabolic rate is 1510. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
BMR describes estimated energy needed for basic body functions at rest. Activity and other daily demands make total expenditure a different quantity. Predictive equations are not metabolic measurements and may fit some individuals poorly. The output is not a minimum diet prescription.
Replace the illustrative age value (30) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Enter age, height and weight in the requested units, then check which equation and sex coefficient the selected method uses.
