The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest. This includes breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, and cell production.
Activity Level | Calorie Calculation |
---|---|
Sedentary (little or no exercise) | BMR × 1.2 |
Light activity (light exercise 1-3 days/week) | BMR × 1.375 |
Moderate activity (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week) | BMR × 1.55 |
Very active (hard exercise 6-7 days/week) | BMR × 1.725 |
Extra active (very hard exercise & physical job) | BMR × 1.9 |
