Generation

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production while at complete rest. It represents the minimum energy expenditure required to keep you alive and typically accounts for 60-75% of total daily energy expenditure. BMR is influenced by factors including age, sex, body composition, and genetics. A commonly used estimation formula is the **Mifflin-St Jeor equation**: For men: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5 For women: BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
