Mifflin-St Jeor Equation
This calculator uses the widely accepted Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), which is considered more accurate for modern populations than older formulas:
- For Men: RMR = (10 × W) + (6.25 × H) - (5 × A) + 5
- For Women: RMR = (10 × W) + (6.25 × H) - (5 × A) - 161
Where:
- W = Weight in kilograms (kg)
- H = Height in centimeters (cm)
- A = Age in years
This formula provides an excellent starting point for understanding your daily calorie expenditure.
