How this calculation works
The BMR calculator estimates the energy your body would use at rest over a day using Mifflin-St Jeor. BMR is one input to nutrition planning, but it is not the same as total calorie needs because normal movement, work, exercise, health status, and digestion add energy use.
Mathematical formula and logic
Mifflin-St Jeor uses weight, height, age, and sex-specific constants to estimate BMR.
Worked example
Use the BMR result with an activity estimate for a broader daily calorie target.
Calculation assumptions
- The estimate uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula.
- It represents resting energy needs, not total daily expenditure.
- Health conditions and body composition are not modeled.
- Use clinical guidance for medical nutrition planning.
