Understanding This Calculator

BMR Formula (Mifflin-St Jeor)

The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is considered one of the most accurate methods for estimating BMR.

Men: (10 × weight) + (6.25 × height) - (5 × age) + 5
Women: (10 × weight) + (6.25 × height) - (5 × age) - 161

  • Weight: in kilograms (kg)
  • Height: in centimeters (cm)
  • Age: in years

Example 1

Male, 30 years old, 80 kg, 180 cm.

  • Calculation: (10×80) + (6.25×180) - (5×30) + 5
  • 800 + 1125 - 150 + 5 = 1,780 kcal/day

Example 2

Female, 25 years old, 60 kg, 165 cm.

  • Calculation: (10×60) + (6.25×165) - (5×25) - 161
  • 600 + 1031.25 - 125 - 161 = 1,345 kcal/day

How to Use

  • Enter weight, height, and age.
  • Select your gender.
