Frequently asked questions

What is BMR and how is it calculated?

BMR (basal metabolic rate) is the energy your body uses at complete rest. This tool uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: men 10 x kg + 6.25 x cm - 5 x age + 5; women 10 x kg + 6.25 x cm - 5 x age - 161. For a 25-year-old man at 70 kg and 170 cm, that is about 1,643 kcal per day.

Which BMR formula does this calculator use?

It uses Mifflin-St Jeor, not Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle. Mifflin-St Jeor is widely used because it is simple and needs only sex, age, weight and height. Results from other formulas can differ by a few percent, so treat all of them as estimates.

How do I get my daily calorie needs from BMR?

Multiply BMR by an activity factor: 1.2 sedentary, 1.375 lightly active, 1.55 moderately active, 1.725 very active, 1.9 extra active. The tool lists all of these. With a BMR of 1,642.5 and factor 1.55, daily needs are about 2,546 kcal.

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?

BMR is calories burned at rest; TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) adds movement, exercise and digestion. TDEE is BMR multiplied by an activity factor, so it is always higher. The activity table in this tool shows each level, which is your estimated TDEE.

Is a BMR calculator accurate?

It is a population-based estimate, so your real value can differ by several percent depending on muscle mass, genetics, hormones and health. Use it as a starting point and adjust based on how your weight responds. It is not medical advice; see a doctor or dietitian for personal guidance.

Can I enter weight in pounds and height in feet and inches?

Yes. Switch to Imperial and enter pounds and feet plus inches; the tool converts them to kilograms and centimetres (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg, 1 in = 2.54 cm) before applying the formula. The result is the same as entering the metric equivalent.

Is my data shared when using the BMR Calculator?

No. Toolskyt operates under a zero-server policy. All calculations, data formatting, and file exports are executed locally on your machine.

Do I need to sign up or pay to use the BMR Calculator?

No, this tool is 100% free. There are no limits, sign-ups, subscriptions, or hidden charges required.
