BMR Calculator
About Our Smart BMR Calculator
Our smart calculator provides instant results and leverages AI to offer personalized insights.
Smart AI BMR Calculator
Your metabolism is your body's engine. Our AI BMR Calculator doesn't just calculate how much fuel you burn at rest; it helps you optimize that engine. By combining the Mifflin-St Jeor equation with AI insights, we establish your critical baseline for health and fitness.
Why BMR Matters?
Eating below your BMR can slow down your metabolism. Our AI engine analyzes your result to warn you against dangerous deficits and suggests a safe calorie floor for sustainable weight loss.
How It Works
- Enter your Age, Gender, Height, and Weight.
- The calculator uses the default Mifflin-St Jeor formula (most accurate).
- Expand "Advanced" if you prefer the classic Harris-Benedict method.
- Pro Tip: Click "Get AI Advice" to see how to build a diet plan above your BMR threshold.
Unlock Your Metabolic Baseline
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns to perform basic life-sustaining functions like breathing and circulation. It accounts for about 60-75% of your total energy burn. Understanding this number is the first step to mastering your weight.
Smart Metabolic Analysis
Knowing your BMR is useless if you don't know how to use it. Our AI BMR Calculator provides context that static math cannot:
- Metabolic Safety: AI identifies your "Red Line"—the calorie level you should never drop below to avoid muscle loss.
- TDEE Projection: AI estimates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure based on your BMR profile.
- Age Context: Analyzes if your metabolic rate is typical for your age group.
BMR vs. TDEE: The Difference
Many people confuse these two metrics. Here is the simple breakdown:
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): Calories burned in a coma-like state. The absolute minimum to survive.
- TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure): BMR + Calories burned from movement, work, and exercise. The number needed to maintain weight.
Note: Weight loss calculations usually start from TDEE, but BMR sets the safety floor.
BMR Formulas Explained
Mifflin-St Jeor (We Use This)
Introduced in 1990, this is currently considered the most accurate equation for people with average body composition. The American Dietetic Association considers it the gold standard.
Harris-Benedict (Revised)
Originally created in 1919 and revised in 1984. It tends to overestimate calorie needs slightly, especially in overweight individuals. We offer it as an advanced option for comparison.
Average BMR by Age & Gender
General reference values based on average height/weight data.
| Age Group | Men (Avg Calories) | Women (Avg Calories) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 - 29 | 1,780 | 1,450 |
| 30 - 39 | 1,730 | 1,400 |
| 40 - 49 | 1,680 | 1,350 |
| 50 - 59 | 1,610 | 1,290 |
| 60 + | 1,530 | 1,220 |
Limitations
BMR formulas are estimates. They do not account for individual variations such as genetic factors, medications, or hormonal conditions (like thyroid issues). For a precise measurement, a lab test (Indirect Calorimetry) is required.
