Calculate your BMR and daily calorie needs
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions at rest.
Daily calorie needs are calculated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor based on your lifestyle.
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production at rest.
BMR is calculated using formulas like the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which considers your age, gender, height, and weight.
BMR is the calories needed at complete rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes calories burned through daily activities and exercise.
Knowing your BMR helps you understand how many calories your body needs and assists in planning weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance goals.
