Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate and daily calorie needs
BMR Calculator
Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - the amount of energy your body needs at rest to maintain vital functions. This is essential for determining daily calorie needs and planning nutrition goals.

đ Understanding BMR
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic physiological functions like breathing, circulation, and cellular repair while at complete rest.
Why BMR Matters
BMR accounts for 60-75% of total daily energy expenditure in sedentary individuals. Understanding your BMR helps create accurate nutrition and weight management plans.
Factors Affecting BMR
Age, gender, body composition, genetics, climate, and hormonal changes all influence your BMR. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue at rest.
