BMI & BMR Calculator
Calculate your Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate to find your ideal daily nutrition targets.
📚 Understanding These Metrics
⚖️ Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is a screening tool calculated as weight ÷ height². It's useful for population-level analysis but doesn't distinguish between fat and muscle mass. Athletes may show "overweight" BMI despite low body fat.
🔥 Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR is the calories your body burns at complete rest to sustain vital functions (breathing, circulation, organ function). Calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the most validated formula for most adults.
⚡ Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
TDEE is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor. It estimates how many calories you actually burn per day. Use this as your maintenance baseline: eat less to lose weight, more to gain.
⚠️ Important Disclaimers
These are estimates. BMR equations have ±10% variance. Results may differ for older adults, pregnant women, and athletes. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalised nutrition guidance.
