(BMR) Introduction to Basal Metabolic Rate
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
- Refers to the rate of energy metabolism in a person who is awake but at complete rest, unaffected by muscle activity, environmental temperature, food, or mental stress.
- Male: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × weight (kg)) + (5 × height (cm)) - (6.8 × age (years))
- Female: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × weight (kg)) + (1.8 × height (cm)) - (4.7 × age (years))
ABOUT THIS TOOL
Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator
BMR estimates the energy used at rest. Actual daily needs also depend on activity, health, body composition and other factors.
