This calculator is based on the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which estimates basal metabolic rate (BMR) — the energy your body uses at rest. For men: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age + 5. For women: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age − 161. Results are estimates for informational purposes and are not a substitute for medical advice. If you take insulin or a medication that can cause low blood sugar, talk with your healthcare team before changing your carb intake.
