For Men:
BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) – ( 6.76 x age in years )
For Women:
BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) – ( 4.7 x age in years )
Ex:Let's say you're a 20 year old woman whose weight is 120lbs and height is 60 inches.
Then your BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x 120) + ( 4.7 x 60 ) – ( 4.7 x 20 ) = 1365 calories.
According to this equation we can see that your BMR changes as you gain or lose weight(And also with your age).Therefore it is recommended to calculate your BMR every time your weight changes.And also please bear in mind that this is just a rough estimate and if you are too fat or too muscular these numbers may be inaccurate.So please consult a physician and/or specialist to measure your BMR accurately, before taking any actions.
