Calcify's BMR Calculator allows you to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate - the calories your body burns every day while at complete rest to keep essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cell repair. Knowing your BMR is useful if you’re trying to manage weight, support muscle growth, or plan a calorie deficit without cutting too hard. You just enter your age, gender, height, and weight, and the tool calculates an estimated baseline calorie need.

After determining your BMR, you can factor in your activity level and come up with maintenance calories - approximately how many calories you will need to consume in a day to maintain your current weight. For example, if your BMR is 1,520 calories and your lifestyle is moderately active, you can get a good idea of how many calories you will consume to maintain your weight compared to slightly losing body fat. You can then plan meals more smartly instead of guessing. Use the BMR calculator now, and check out some other health and fitness tools on Calcify to help you develop a routine that works best for your body.
