What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum number of calories your body needs at complete rest to maintain basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and temperature regulation. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, one of the most accurate BMR formulas.
Why is BMR important?
- • Understanding BMR helps you set realistic calorie intake goals
- • You should not eat fewer calories than your BMR when losing weight
- • BMR plus activity calories equals your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
