BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Calculator: Estimate Daily Calorie Needs

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Calculator

The BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Calculator estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions, like breathing, digestion, and circulation, at rest. This calculation is particularly helpful for those looking to maintain, lose, or gain weight by understanding their daily calorie requirements.

How the Calculation Works:

The BMR is calculated using the Harris-Benedict formula, which estimates basal metabolic rate based on weight, height, age, and gender.

1. For Men:

BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × Weight in kg) + (4.799 × Height in cm) − (5.677 × Age in years)

2. For Women:

BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × Weight in kg) + (3.098 × Height in cm) − (4.330 × Age in years)

Key Inputs:

Age: The user's age in years.

Gender: Select between male and female.

Weight: The user's weight in kilograms.

Height: The user's height in centimeters.

This BMR Calculator helps users understand their basic calorie needs, which is useful for planning weight management, fitness goals, or nutritional intake.
