Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the number of calories you burn at rest.
Even when you are sleeping or sitting perfectly still, your body is working hard. From pumping blood and breathing to cellular repair and temperature regulation, these 'background' processes require a significant amount of energy. Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the exact number of calories your body needs to perform these basic life-sustaining functions. Knowing your BMR is the essential first step in creating any effective diet or fitness plan, as it represents the 'floor' of your daily caloric needs.
Hoe het werkt
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is currently considered the most accurate standard for estimating BMR in healthy adults. It factors in your gender, age, weight, and height to provide a personalized daily calorie count.

Calculation Examples
1. **Male**: 30 years old, 80kg, 180cm. BMR = **~1,800 kcal/day**.
2. **Female**: 30 years old, 65kg, 165cm. BMR = **~1,400 kcal/day**.
Why use this tool in your daily life?
Without knowing your BMR, dieting is just guessing. This tool provides the mathematical baseline for your metabolism, allowing you to build a nutrition plan that is grounded in your body's actual biological requirements.
