Understanding BMR

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions. This includes breathing, circulation, cell production, and nutrient processing.

Activity Level Multipliers

  • Sedentary (1.2): Little to no exercise, desk job
  • Light (1.375): Light exercise 1-3 days per week
  • Moderate (1.55): Moderate exercise 3-5 days per week
  • Active (1.725): Hard exercise 6-7 days per week
  • Very Active (1.9): Very hard exercise and physical job

Weight Management Tips

  • A deficit of 500 calories per day typically leads to losing 0.5 kg per week
  • A surplus of 500 calories per day can help gain 0.5 kg per week
  • Always consult with healthcare professionals before major dietary changes
  • Combine calorie management with regular exercise for best results

How it works

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) accounts for your activity level.

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:

  • Men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H - 5A + 5
  • Women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H - 5A - 161
What's the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is your calorie burn at complete rest. TDEE includes activity and is typically 20-80% higher than BMR.
