Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator

Posted January 26th, 2010 by John C. Oconnor

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Calculator is an estimate of how many calories your body needs to maintain its current weight. It represents the amount of calories per day your body burns, regardless of exercise.

In order to lose weight, you simply need to increase your daily activity or consume fewer calories than those needed to maintain your weight. When you know your daily calorie need, the BMR Calculator can help you manage your weight.

If your goal is to lose weight, you can deduct 500 calories. This will allow you to lose one pound a week.
