BMR Calculator
BMR is the energy your body needs to keep you alive at complete rest. Calculate it with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most widely used formula.
BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor)
1,659 kcal/day
Per hour
69 kcal/h
Sedentary maintenance
1,991 kcal/day
Moderately active maintenance

How this was worked out
- FormulaBMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5
- Step 110 × 72 = 720
- Step 26.25 × 175 = 1,093.75
- Step 35 × 32 = 160
- Step 4BMR = 1,659 kcal/day
Multiply your BMR by an activity factor to estimate total daily energy expenditure — the TDEE Calculator does this in detail.
