MACRONUTRIENT CALCULATOR
BMR: 2297 CALORIES/DAY
*Basal Metabolic Rate is calculated by the Harris-Benedict equation (created in 1919, but still applicable
today).
RMR: 2326 CALORIES/DAY
These two terms are used interchangeably, although they are not technically the same. Resting metabolic rate
is really what most lay people mean when they say basal metabolic rate, and I talk here only about resting
metabolic rate (RMR). Basal metabolic rate is a precise calculation with a precise definition; RMR is close
enough for practical purposes.
YOUR METABOLIC RATE = YOUR RESTING METABOLIC RATE (EASY TO CALCULATE REASONABLY
ACCURATELY) + ENERGY CONSUMED BY YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES (MUST GUESTIMATE).
Resting metabolic rate is the energy required by an animal to stay alive with no activity. Therefore, your real
metabolic rate is always significantly higher than your RMR. Calculating RMR is a very useful first step in
calculating your real metabolic rate.
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is one of the main contributing components of energy expenditure
(around 70%).
TDEE: 3488 CALORIES
