Mifflin-St Jeor Equation: For men: BMR = 10W + 6.25H - 5A + 5 For women: BMR = 10W + 6.25H - 5A - 161 Revised Harris-Benedict Equation: For men: BMR = 13.397W + 4.799H - 5.677A + 88.362 For women: BMR = 9.247W + 3.098H - 4.330A + 447.593 Katch-McArdle Formula: BMR = 370 + 21.6(1 - F)W But we think that the best way for you to truly measure your BMR is to find somewhere near you that will test if for you with a tube and a computer measuring your BMR or your RMR There are places and services such as Body Spec Here is a video to explain it and show you what it looks like in more of a clinical setting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAiiXhyoAnc
