How the BMR Calculator Works
BMR (basal metabolic rate) is the energy your body uses to breathe, pump blood and keep warm, even if you lay in bed all day.
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which dietitians consider the most accurate everyday formula. To see how many calories you need with your activity, use the Daily Calorie Calculator.
Want a doctor to look at your result? See our Nutrition & Dietetics specialists or book an appointment.

Why is my BMR lower than my friend’s?
BMR depends on weight, height, age and sex. Larger bodies and more muscle burn more at rest; BMR also falls slowly with age.
Should I eat less than my BMR to lose weight?
No. Eating below your BMR for long periods is not advised without medical supervision. Aim for a small cut below your daily calories instead.
