What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated by dividing your weight (kg) by the square of your height (m). It's a widely used indicator to estimate body fat levels.

WHO BMI Classification

Category BMI Range
UnderweightBelow 18.5
Normal weight18.5 – 24.9
Overweight25.0 – 29.9
Obesity Class I30.0 – 34.9
Obesity Class II35.0 – 39.9
Obesity Class III40.0 and above

What is BMR?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum energy your body needs to sustain vital functions. This calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation:

  • Male: 88.362 + (13.397 × weight kg) + (4.799 × height cm) - (5.677 × age)
  • Female: 447.593 + (9.247 × weight kg) + (3.098 × height cm) - (4.330 × age)

Daily Calorie Recommendations

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is calculated by multiplying BMR by an activity factor:

  • Sedentary (little/no exercise): BMR × 1.2
  • Lightly active (1-3 days/week): BMR × 1.375
  • Moderately active (3-5 days/week): BMR × 1.55
  • Very active (6-7 days/week): BMR × 1.725
  • Extra active (athlete level): BMR × 1.9
