What’s a BMR Calculator?
This tool calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the calories your body needs at rest, using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation. It’s perfect for fitness planning in India and globally.
How BMR Is Calculated
Formula used (Mifflin-St Jeor):
Men:
BMR = 10 × Weight (kg) + 6.25 × Height (cm) - 5 × Age (years) + 5
Women:
BMR = 10 × Weight (kg) + 6.25 × Height (cm) - 5 × Age (years) - 161
Our calculator applies this formula for you!

Key Considerations for BMR Calculation
Ensure accurate results with these insights:
BMR is an estimate based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation. Actual calorie needs vary due to muscle mass, genetics, or health conditions. Consult a professional for precision.
No, BMR is calories at rest. For total daily needs, multiply BMR by an activity factor (e.g., 1.2 for sedentary, 1.55 for moderate activity).
Conditions like thyroid issues or pregnancy may affect BMR. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized calculations.
