Step1
Men – BMR =66.47+ (13.75 x W) + (5.0 x H) – (6.75 x A)
Women – BMR =665.09 + (9.56 x W) + (1.84 x H) – (4.67 x A)
W = weight in kilograms
H = height in centimeters
A = age
Step2:
Then multiplicate by your activity level:
1.2= Sedentary (little activity, desk job)
1.3-1.4= Light exercise (3-4 days/week )
1.55-1.6=Moderate exercise (3-5 days/week, 60 minutes/session)
1.725= Active (6-7 days/week 60-90 min/session)
1.9= Extremely active individuals such as, heavy manual labor workers,
endurance/athletes on competitive sports teams.
Then you decide if you want to add or reduce your caloric intake depending on your goal.
