Answer 5: BMR is a short form of the Basal Metabolic Rate. Talking about the Basal Metabolic Rate, it is related to the number of calories that are required to keep the body functioning properly.

BMR formula

There are 2 formulae used to calculate BMR, in [kcal / 24hrs] for men and women respectively:

BMR for Men = 66.47 + (13.7 * weight [kg]) + (5 * size [cm]) − (6.8 * age [years])

BMR for Women = 655.1 + (9.6 * weight [kg]) + (1.8 * size [cm]) − (4.7 * age [years])

Harris Benedict Formula

For the determination of total calorie needs on daily basis

Calorie calculation: BMR*Appropriate activity factor
