Have you ever wondered how many calories your body need to operate on a daily basis? Or how much energy do you need to keep going? The answer is your basal metabolic rate, or BMR. It’s the quantity of calories your body requires only to keep fundamental physical functions like breathing, circulation, and cell creation running smoothly; it accounts for 60-75% of total daily calorie expenditure. In this post, we will define BMR and explain why knowing it is vital for living a healthy lifestyle. We’ll also go over how to calculate your own BMR so you can see whether you’re receiving all of the nutrients your body requires.
How to calculate base metabolic rate
The amount of energy your body requires to sustain fundamental physical activities such as breathing, circulating blood, and digesting food is known as your basal metabolic rate (BMR). You’ll need to know your weight in kilogrammes, height in centimetres, and age in years to determine your BMR. Once you have the data, enter it into the following formula:
For women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) – (4.7 x age in years)
For men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) – (6.8 x age in years)
For example, if you are a 30-year-old woman who weighs 60 kg and is 160 cm tall, your BMR would be:
BMR = 655 + (9.6 x 60) + (1.8 x 160)-(4.7×30)= 1,439 kcal/day
How to find your base metabolic rate
To calculate your BMR, you’ll need to know your weight in kilograms, your height in centimeters, and your age in years. Once you have that information, plug it into the following equation:
For Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) – (6.8 x age in years)
For Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) – (4.7 x age in years)
Once you have your BMR, you can use it to estimate the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight, or how many calories you need to eat to lose or gain weight.
What is my base metabolic rate
Your base metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories you burn at rest. It’s the amount of energy your body needs to keep all its systems running — including your heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys — and perform basic functions like breathing, circulating blood, and digesting food.
To calculate your BMR, you’ll need to know your weight in kilograms and your height in centimeters. Once you have that information, plug it into this formula:
For men: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6 x height (cm) – 5 x age (y) + 5
For women: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6 x height (cm) – 5 x age (y) – 161
Once you’ve calculated your BMR, you can use it to estimate how many calories you need to maintain your current weight or lose weight.
