Adult BMR and daily energy range
Estimate adult BMR and a TDEE range from FAO/WHO/UNU equations and PAL bands.
How to use it
- Confirm that the general adult scope applies.
- Enter weight, whole age, published equation group and habitual activity.
- Review BMR and the energy range with the population-level limitation.
Important limitation
For generally healthy adults aged 18+. Not for pregnancy, lactation, illness, clinical nutrition or prescribing weight change. The equations estimate population means and can differ materially from an individual's measured need.
