BMR Calculator

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic life functions while at rest. These functions include breathing, circulation, cell production, and maintaining body temperature. BMR accounts for a large portion of your daily energy expenditure. Knowing your BMR can help you plan calorie intake for weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance. This simplified calculator estimates BMR using body weight as a basic reference. More accurate calculations also include age, gender, and height.
