BMR Calculator Guide
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the calories your body burns at rest to maintain vital functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production. TDEE adds your daily activity to this baseline.
How to Use Your Results
Maintenance: Eat your TDEE calories to maintain current weight
Fat Loss: Eat 300-500 calories below TDEE (shown as "cutting calories")
Muscle Gain: Eat 200-300 calories above TDEE (shown as "bulking calories")
About the Mifflin-St Jeor Formula
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is accurate within ±10% for most people. It's the formula recommended by nutrition professionals because it accounts for modern body composition better than older equations.
Remember: These are estimates. Track your weight for 2-3 weeks and adjust calories based on actual results. Individual metabolism can vary due to genetics, muscle mass, and other factors.
