About this tool
BMR Calculator estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate — the minimum calories your body needs at rest — using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It also shows your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) for different activity levels. Use it as a starting point for diet planning or health management.
How to use
- Select your gender and enter your age, height, and weight.
- Your BMR is displayed instantly.
- Check the recommended daily calories (TDEE) for each activity level.
FAQ
What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum energy your body needs to sustain basic life functions like breathing, circulation, and body temperature — with no physical activity.
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is the calories needed at rest. TDEE adds your daily activity and exercise on top of BMR. To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your TDEE.
Is the Mifflin-St Jeor formula accurate?
It is the most widely used and validated BMR estimation formula. However, actual metabolic rates can vary based on muscle mass and body fat percentage, so use the result as a reference.
