Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMR?
Basal Metabolic Rate -- the calories your body burns just staying alive at total rest, before any movement, digestion, or exercise is counted.
Which formula does this use?
Mifflin-St Jeor, the equation most commonly recommended over the older Harris-Benedict formula -- it tends to track measured resting energy expenditure more closely in healthy adults.
Is BMR the number I should eat to lose weight?
No -- eating at BMR ignores your actual daily activity and is lower than what most people should eat. Use the TDEE calculator for your real daily number, or the macro calculator for a goal-specific target.
