BMR Calculator
Estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate and total daily energy expenditure.
Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest. Lilu Baba's BMR Calculator uses the widely-used Mifflin-St Jeor formula, then applies your activity level to estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure — a useful starting point for nutrition planning. This is an informational estimate only, not medical advice.
