2. Harris–Benedict equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris–Benedict_equation

   The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.

3. Schofield equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schofield_equation

   The Schofield Equation is a method of estimating the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of adult men and women published in 1985. [1] This is the equation used by the WHO in their technical report series. [2] The equation that is recommended to estimate BMR by the US Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the Mifflin-St. Jeor equation. [3]

   Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of calories your body burns while performing basic life-sustaining functions like breathing, growing hair, digesting food, and keeping your heart beating ...

5. Basal metabolic rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate

   The basal metabolic rate accounts for about 70% of the daily calorie expenditure by individuals. It is influenced by several factors. In humans, BMR typically declines by 1–2% per decade after age 20, mostly due to loss of fat-free mass, [3] although the variability between individuals is high. [4]

   The Harris-Benedict equation is often used to estimate BMR based on gender, age, weight and height. Once you have your BMR, multiply it by an activity factor to determine your total daily energy ...

7. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

   Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1]Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, states, after many observations that, for a vast number of animals, an animal's Basal Metabolic Rate scales to the 3 ⁄ 4 power of the animal's mass.

8. Institute of Medicine Equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Medicine_Equation

   It is the equation which is behind the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the new food pyramid, MyPyramid. The Institute of Medicine equation uses a different approach to most others. The equation doesn't measure basal metabolic rate , but uses experiments based on doubly labelled water .

9. Weight management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_management

   The calories a person expends comes from their basal metabolic rate and their daily physical activity. [5] The human body is very good at maintaining a neutral energy balance, particularly with a diet composed of fruits, vegetables, and meats so that calories consumed do not substantially exceed calories expended in a given time period and vice ...
