How it works

BMR uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most accurate general-purpose formula in clinical use, then multiplies it by an activity factor for total daily energy expenditure.

Frequently asked questions

What is BMR?

The energy your body uses at complete rest to keep organs running — typically 60 to 70 percent of daily calorie burn.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is an estimate for planning only; speak to a clinician or dietitian before changing your diet significantly.
