BMR FAQs
What is BMR and why is it important?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and heart rate. Knowing your BMR helps you plan diets, weight loss, or fitness goals. Use Healthdial’s BMR tool to guide your health journey!
How accurate is the BMR calculator?
The BMR calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is highly accurate for most adults. However, factors like muscle mass, genetics, or medical conditions may affect results. Consult a dietitian via Healthdial for a personalized plan.
How can I use my BMR to manage my weight?
Your BMR shows calories needed at rest. To maintain weight, add activity calories. For weight loss, eat fewer calories than your total needs; for gain, eat more. Connect with a nutritionist through Healthdial to create a tailored diet plan!
Is BMR the same as TDEE?
No, BMR is calories burned at rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes activity, exercise, and digestion. Use your BMR as a baseline, then factor in activity level to estimate TDEE. Explore Healthdial’s tools for more insights!
Can I use this BMR calculator for children or teens?
This BMR calculator is for adults (18+). Children and teens have different metabolic needs due to growth. Consult a pediatrician for accurate assessments, and use Healthdial to find family healthcare services in India.
