BMR Calculator estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate, the number of calories your body needs just to keep functioning at complete rest, using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation based on your sex, age, height, and weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMR used for?

BMR is the baseline used to calculate your total daily calorie needs once activity is factored in — see our TDEE Calculator for that next step.

Is BMR the same for everyone at the same weight?

No, age, sex, and height all affect it, which is why the calculation uses all four inputs together.
