Basal metabolism (BM) refers to the minimum energy required by all organs of the human body to maintain life. The measurement method is the energy metabolism rate of the human body when it is awake and extremely quiet, which is not affected by the mental stress of environmental temperature, food and muscle activity.

Calculation-basal metabolic rate (body mass index)

Female basal metabolic rate =66 1+9.6* weight (kg)+ 1.72* height (c-m)-4.7* age.

Male basal metabolic rate =67+ 13.73* weight (kg)+5* height (c-m)-6.9* age.

The above is the calculation method of people-oriented demand energy in the ideal state. If you take part in activities or sports, your energy consumption will increase.

The specific algorithm is:

Sitting lifestyle (little exercise): basal metabolism * 1. 15 light activity, daily activity: basal metabolism * 1.3.

Moderate intensity fitness (3-4 times a week): basal metabolism * 1.4 high intensity fitness (more than 4 times a week): basal metabolism * 1.6.

Professional athletes (more than 6 times a week): basal metabolism * 1.8.

Indicators affecting basal metabolism

As can be seen from the above formula, there are at least three indicators that affect the generation of cardinality: height, weight and age.

Weight and height

People with large weight naturally have a higher basal generation, so they must consume more calories than people with small weight.

age

Our base generation is also closely related to age, reaching its peak around 18~20 years old. After the age of 20, with the increase of age, the basal metabolic rate of human body will gradually decrease from the peak.

Muscle content

Baseband height is also related to muscle content. This is also the reason why we should calculate our own amount of exercise when calculating the baseband.
