What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns while performing basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining organ functions. This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is considered one of the most accurate methods for calculating BMR.
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is calculated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor based on your typical level of physical activity. This gives you an estimate of how many calories you burn in a day, which can be useful for weight management goals.
