About BMR

What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions — breathing, circulation, cell production, and organ function — while at complete rest. BMR accounts for 60–70% of total daily calorie expenditure.

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

Men: BMR = 88.36 + (13.4 × weight in kg) + (4.8 × height in cm) − (5.7 × age)

Women: BMR = 447.6 + (9.2 × weight in kg) + (3.1 × height in cm) − (4.3 × age)

This is the most accurate equation for estimating BMR according to recent research

Using BMR for weight management

Multiply BMR by activity factor to get TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

Eat 500 kcal below TDEE to lose ~0.5 kg/week

Eat at TDEE to maintain weight

Never eat below BMR — it harms metabolism and muscles
