How to find your BMR

[venus!]

I posted this in another thread but I am sure alot of people did not get a chance to see it. This is a very good formula to find your basic daily calorie need , because it goes not only by your weight but also by the amount of activities you perform. The end total will tell you how many calories you need to maintain your current body weight. If you are trying to lose weight either you can subtract a calorie defeciet from the total or increase your exercise program so you are burning more cals. If your goal is to gain mass then simply add more cals to your diet regimen. Hope this helps some of you out

This is for WOMEN...(the formula for men is different)

655 + [4.36 x weight] + [4.32 x height in inches] - [4.7 x age] = BMR
655 + [__________] + [__________] - [______] = _____

Formula for MEN:

66 + [6.22 x weight] + [12.7 x height in inches] - [6.8 x age] = BMR
66 + [___________] + [__________] - [_______] = _____

Now calculate your activity level using your BMR.

_______ (BMR) x ______(activity rating/see below) = _______total calories a day

activity rating:
1.3 lightly active (normal everyday activities)
1.4 moderately active (exercise 3 to 4 times a week)
1.6 very active (exercise more than 4 times a week)
1.8 extremely active (exercise 6 to 7 times a week for more than an hour in duration)
