How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and then adjusts the BMR based on your activity level to estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). The formulas used are:
- BMR for Men:
BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight) + (4.799 × height) - (5.677 × age) - BMR for Women:
BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight) + (3.098 × height) - (4.330 × age) - TDEE = BMR × Activity Level Multiplier
Activity Level Multipliers
- Sedentary: BMR × 1.2
- Lightly active: BMR × 1.375
- Moderately active: BMR × 1.55
- Active: BMR × 1.725
- Very active: BMR × 1.9
