Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimal calorie
requirement required to sustain life in a resting or
sleeping individual that is not subject to the influence
of stress, hunger, muscular activities, ambient
temperature and health conditions. Basal Metabolic
rate reflects an individual's metabolic condition and
has been considered as a reference for weight control
and the maintenance of health.
The formula for calculating BMR provided by your
mobile phone is the Harris-Benedict formula, which
is as follows:
Female: BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x
height in cm) - (4.7 x age)
Male: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kg) + (5 x height
in cm) - (6.8 x age)
In the above method of calculation, the unit for
weight is in kilogrammes and the unit for height is in
centimetres.
