Bmr Calculator Weight Loss

BMR Equations:

For Men: BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age + 5

For Women: BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age - 161

Calories for Weight Loss = TDEE - 500

1. What is BMR Calculator for Weight Loss?

The BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Calculator for Weight Loss estimates your body's calorie needs at rest and provides a calorie target for effective weight loss. It helps create a sustainable calorie deficit for healthy weight management.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equations:

For Men: BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age + 5

For Women: BMR = 10 × weight + 6.25 × height - 5 × age - 161

Weight Loss Calories = TDEE - 500

Where:

Weight — Body weight in kilograms (kg)
Height — Height in centimeters (cm)
Age — Age in years
TDEE — Total Daily Energy Expenditure (BMR × activity level)

Explanation: The calculator estimates your basal metabolic rate and subtracts 500 calories to create a daily deficit for approximately 0.5kg weight loss per week.

3. Importance of BMR Calculation for Weight Loss

Details: Understanding your BMR is crucial for creating an effective weight loss plan. It provides a scientific basis for calorie intake, ensuring you create a sustainable deficit without compromising health or metabolism.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter accurate weight in kg, height in cm, and age in years. Select your gender. For best results, use current measurements and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract 500 calories for weight loss?
A: A 500-calorie daily deficit creates approximately 3500 calories weekly deficit, which equals about 0.5kg of fat loss per week.

Q2: Is this calculator accurate for everyone?
A: While generally accurate, individual variations in metabolism, muscle mass, and health conditions may affect results.

Q3: Should I eat below my BMR for weight loss?
A: No, eating below BMR can slow metabolism and cause muscle loss. The calculator provides a sustainable deficit above your BMR.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my BMR?
A: Recalculate every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes (5kg or more) to adjust your calorie targets.

Q5: Can I use this for weight gain or maintenance?
A: Yes, for maintenance use TDEE, for weight gain add 250-500 calories to your TDEE for gradual weight increase.
