Basal Metabolic Rate
Does BMR include your level of activity?
No, it does not. The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest keeping all your systems working.
What is the BMR formula?
The Harris Benedict equation is one of the most accurate methods of BMR estimation. This formula uses factors such as age, weight, height and sex to determine BMR and is accurate with the exception of pregnant women, extremely muscular and extremely obese individuals. The Harris Benedict formula is as follows:
- for women
BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kilos) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)
- for men
BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kilos) + (5 x height in cm) - (6.8 x age in years)
Fortunately you do not have to make this calculation single-handedly. You can use our BMR calculator .
