Calculateur de BMR
Estimate basal metabolic rate with the Mifflin-St Jeor formula.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Estimated BMR directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Estimated BMR:
sexOffset!==5 && sexOffset!==-161 ? NaN : 10 × weightKg + 6.25 × heightCm - 5 × age + sexOffset
Variables and parameters
- Weight (weightKg): default value 80 kg.
- Height (heightCm): default value 178 cm.
- Age (age): default value 30 years.
- Sex offset: male 5, female -161 (sexOffset): default value 5.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
