This calculator estimates the number of inactive calories burned based on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and sedentary activity level.
Learn how to use the Inactive Calories Burned Calculator calculator and its working principles
The calculator provides two main results:
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your BMR:
For males: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (years) + 5
For females: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (years) - 161
The inactive calories burned are then calculated by multiplying the BMR by the selected sedentary activity factor.
