Applications

Vital for personalizing weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain plans. BMR tells you the minimum energy your body needs to function (breathe, pump blood, etc.) while at rest.

The Methodology

Calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation , which is currently considered the most accurate for the general population.

Fun Fact: Your brain is an energy hog—it consumes about 20% of your BMR calories despite being only 2% of your body weight.
