Note: BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions at rest. This calculator uses scientifically validated formulas to estimate your daily energy needs.

Metabolism Boosting Tips
- Eat protein-rich foods to increase thermic effect of food
- Stay hydrated as water is essential for metabolic processes
- Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours) for optimal hormone function
- Incorporate strength training to build muscle mass
- Consider meal timing and frequency for your metabolism
Understanding BMR
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions at rest. These include breathing, circulation, cell production, nutrient processing, and protein synthesis.
Calculation Methods
The Mifflin-St Jeor equation is currently considered the most accurate for calculating BMR. The Harris-Benedict equation is an older but still widely used formula. Both account for age, gender, height, and weight.
Factors Affecting BMR
BMR is influenced by age (decreases with age), gender (males typically have higher BMR), muscle mass (more muscle = higher BMR), genetics, body size, and environmental factors like temperature.
