Mifflin-St Jeor Equation
The formula used to calculate your BMR
Men (♂)
BMR = 10 × W + 6.25 × H − 5 × A + 5
W = Weight in kg
H = Height in cm
A = Age in years
Women (♀)
BMR = 10 × W + 6.25 × H − 5 × A − 161
W = Weight in kg
H = Height in cm
A = Age in years
About BMR & TDEE
What is BMR?
- • Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest
- • Accounts for 60-75% of daily calorie expenditure
- • Used for basic body functions (breathing, circulation)
- • Decreases with age and increases with muscle mass
- • Foundation for calculating daily calorie needs
Understanding TDEE
- • Total Daily Energy Expenditure includes all activity
- • BMR multiplied by activity level factor
- • Represents actual daily calorie needs
- • Use for weight management goals
- • Adjust based on progress and goals
Note: These calculations provide estimates. Individual metabolic rates vary based on genetics, body composition, hormones, and other factors. Consult a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.
