(Default)
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
1,728 kcal / day
Sedentary Maintenance (BMR × 1.2)
2,073 kcal
Moderate Exercise (BMR × 1.55)

How the Calculation Works
Uses the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor formula.
Formula: BMR (Men) = 10W + 6.25H - 5A + 5 | BMR (Women) = 10W + 6.25H - 5A - 161
Practical Worked Example
Given Inputs: Male, 75kg, 178cm, 28yo
Calculated Output: BMR: 1,727 kcal/day
- (10×75) + (6.25×178) - (5×28) + 5 = 1,727.
Pro Tip: BMR is your baseline; remember that your actual daily expenditure is higher when you include daily activities.
