BMR Guide

What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate is the energy your body needs to keep vital functions running at rest — breathing, circulation, cell production, and temperature regulation.

How we calculate it

  • Men: 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age + 5
  • Women: 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age − 161

Activity multipliers

  • Sedentary: BMR × 1.2
  • Light: BMR × 1.375
  • Moderate: BMR × 1.55
  • Active: BMR × 1.725
  • Very active: BMR × 1.9

Important: BMR/TDEE are estimates. Medical conditions, meds, and body composition can change true energy needs.
