Frequently Asked Questions
We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and then multiply by an activity factor. For males: BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) - 5 * age(y) + 5. For females: BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) - 5 * age(y) - 161.
Sedentary: little or no exercise. Lightly active: light exercise 1-3 days/week. Moderately active: moderate exercise 3-5 days/week. Very active: hard exercise 6-7 days/week. Extra active: very hard exercise or physical job.
