Daily calorie intake

What is basal metabolism?

Basal metabolism is the energy that our body needs to complete the most basic survival!

Simply put, it is the minimum calories we consume to maintain normal vital signs such as breathing, heartbeat and body temperature during rest.

High basal metabolism = high calorie consumption

How to calculate basal metabolic rate?

Basal metabolic rate of female students (kcal)

=665. 1+9.6x weight (kg)+1.8x height (cm) -4.7x age (years)

Basal metabolic rate of boys (kcal)

= 66.5+ 13.8 times weight (kg) +5.0 times height (cm) -6.8 times age (year)

Tips for popular science:

BMR is short for basal metabolic rate.

Calorie is a symbol of kilocalories, also called calories.

Exercise energy consumption formula:

Sitting lifestyle (basically no exercise) = basal metabolism * 1. 15.

Daily commuting activity (light exercise) = basal metabolism * 1.3

Moderate intensity exercise (3-4 times a week) = basal metabolism x 1.4.

High-intensity exercise (more than 4 times a week) = basal metabolism x 1.6

Professional athletes (more than 6 times per week) = basal metabolism x 1.8
