4. DEFINITION OF BMR
Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories required to
keep your body functioning at rest. BMR is also known as
your body’s metabolism; therefore, any increase to your
metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase your
BMR.
5. COMPUTATION OF BMR
For Males:
BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in lbs.) + (12.7 x height in in.) – (6.8 x
age)
6. COMPUTATION OF BMR
For Females:
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in in.) – (4.7 x
age)
8. DEFINITION OF TDEE
The Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is an estimation
of how many calories you burn per day when exercise is
taken into account. It is calculated by first figuring out
your Basal Metabolic Rate, then multiplying that value by
an activity multiplier.
9. COMPUTATION OF BMR
TDEE = BMR x Activity Level
Activity Levels:
• Sedentary = 1.1
• Light Active = 1.275
• Moderately Active = 1.35
• Very Active = 1.525
• Athlete = 1.7
10. COMPUTATION OF BMR
Activity Levels:
• Sedentary – light or no exercise.
• Light Active – engaged with light sports 1-3 a week.
• Moderately Active – engage with moderate sports 3-5 a week.
• Very Active – engaged with high intensity sports 6-7 days.
• Athlete – engage with extreme activities twice daily for the whole
week.
