Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories you burn daily without any activity.
It is calculated as follows:
Men = (10 x kg weight) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x years of age) + 5. Women = (10 x kg weight) + (6.25 x height in cm) - (5 x years of age) - 161.
Do you want to know how many calories you should consume per day?
Multiply your TBM by the number that describes your activity level:
Little or nothing: 1
Sedentary work: 1.2
Moderate (3-5 times per week) 1,375
Soft (1-3 times per week) 1.55
Intense (6-7 times per week) 1,725.
The number of calories per day is recalculated as you lose weight. The more you weigh, the more energy you need. You should also recalculate them if you change your physical activity level.
