Calculation Method:
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):
- For men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 * weight in kg) + (4.799 * height in cm) – (5.677 * age in years)
- For women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 * weight in kg) + (3.098 * height in cm) – (4.330 * age in years)
Limitations:
The results provided by this calculator are estimates and may not be accurate for everyone. Factors such as muscle mass, body fat percentage, and overall health can affect caloric needs. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
