Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and daily calorie needs based on your personal factors and activity level
Weight loss: Subtract 500 calories/day for ~0.5kg loss per week
Weight gain: Add 500 calories/day for ~0.5kg gain per week
These are estimates. Individual needs may vary based on metabolism and other factors.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production while at complete rest.
This calculator also provides your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), which is an estimate of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is taken into account.
Understanding your BMR is the first step toward managing your weight effectively and making informed decisions about your diet and exercise regimen.
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions while at complete rest.
Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate for estimating BMR for most people. However, remember that it provides an estimate—individual variations can occur.
You should recalculate your BMR if your weight changes significantly (5+ kg), if your activity level changes substantially, or every 3-6 months as part of tracking your health progress.
Yes, BMR can change due to factors like age, weight changes, muscle mass changes, hormonal factors, and overall health status.
You can increase your BMR by building muscle through strength training, eating enough protein, staying hydrated, and incorporating high-intensity interval training into your exercise routine.
