Inputs

  • Weight, kg
  • Height, cm
  • Age, years
  • Sex used by the equation

Calculation details

An adult estimate, not for children, pregnancy, or a personal treatment plan. Discuss results with a clinician or dietitian when managing illness or changing your diet.

The formula estimates resting expenditure rather than measuring it. An activity multiplier is an assumption, not a precise exercise assessment.
