Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation.
How is BMR calculated?
Using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula: Men: 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age − 5. Women: 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age − 161.
How do I use BMR for weight loss?
To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE = BMR × activity factor). A 500 calorie deficit loses ~0.5 kg/week.
