Unlock your body's energy needs and optimize your diet with our comprehensive Metabolic Calculators. Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) to understand resting calorie burn, calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) for active life, and personalize your macronutrient ratios for weight management, muscle gain, or healthy living. Empower your health journey today!
Formula:
Our calculator primarily utilizes the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which represents the calories your body burns at rest. This BMR is then adjusted by your activity level to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
Mifflin-St Jeor BMR Formula:
- For Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5
- For Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
Variables Explained:
- Weight: Your current body weight in kilograms (kg)
- Height: Your height in centimeters (cm)
- Age: Your age in full years
TDEE Calculation: BMR is multiplied by an activity factor based on your daily activity level. For example, a sedentary individual's BMR is multiplied by 1.2, while a moderately active person's BMR is multiplied by 1.55.
