What BMR means
Basal metabolic rate estimates the energy needed for essential functions at rest. It excludes normal movement, training, and digestion, so it should not be used as a daily eating target.
Method and limits
FitCalc uses the same Mifflin–St Jeor equation as its TDEE, Macro, and Maintenance calculators. It is a population estimate; individual needs can differ.
