Calculation Formula

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight) + (3.098 × height) - (4.330 × age)

Calories Burned = BMR × Activity Factor

Where:
BMR: Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest)
weight: Weight in kilograms
height: Height in centimeters
age: Age in years
Activity Factor: Multiplier based on activity level
- Sedentary: 1.2
- Lightly active: 1.375
- Moderately active: 1.55
- Very active: 1.725

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg)
  2. Enter your age in years
  3. Select your gender (Male or Female)
  4. Select your activity level from the dropdown menu
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to get your estimated calories burned

Understanding the Formula

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which represents the number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain basic physiological functions. The formula then multiplies the BMR by an activity factor to estimate the calories burned based on your activity level while sitting.

Important Notes

  • The results provided are estimates and may vary based on individual factors such as metabolism, body composition, and actual activity intensity.
  • This calculator specifically estimates calories burned while sitting. Physical activity beyond sitting will burn additional calories.
  • The activity levels used in this calculator are based on typical sitting or light activity patterns. More intense activities will burn more calories.
  • For best results, use consistent units (kilograms for weight, centimeters for height, and years for age) when entering your information.
