Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions at rest. This is affected by your age, gender, weight, and height.
The activity level you selected adjusts the total daily calories needed to maintain your current weight.
BMR Formula (Mifflin-St Jeor Equation):
Men: 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + 5
Women: 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age - 161
Men: 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + 5
Women: 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age - 161
