BMR Calculator
This BMR Calculator is a great tool for accurately finding out how many calories your body needs on a daily basis. After figuring out your BMR you can multiply that number by your corresponding activity level and figure out home many calories you should be consuming a day!
-
1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Formula
The basal metabolic rate forumla takes several variables like height, weight, age and gender to calculate your calorie needs as if you did not do any exercise.
2. Harris Benedict Formula
The Harris Benedict Formula takes the number produced by the BMR formula and multiplies it depending on your activity level.
To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:
-
1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
