Your Basal Metabolic Rate accounts for 60% to 75% of total daily calorie expenditure. Understanding your BMR provides the clinical foundation for safe medical weight management, glycemic control, and nutritional planning.
Formula & Clinical Methodology
Computed using the clinically gold-standard Mifflin-St Jeor Equation: For Men: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5. For Women: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161.
