Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy used while at rest, awake, and not digesting.

BMR decreases with age and with loss of lean body mass. Increased muscle mass can increase BMR.

BMR is often used as a starting point in designing a weight loss diet and exercise program.

To calculate your BMR:

1. Select your gender
2. Select Metric (kg/m/cm) or Imperial (lb/ft/in) units
3. Enter either your height, weight and age, or weight and body fat percentage
4. Tap the Calculate button

As soon as you tap the Calculate button, your input and the calculated result are stored in the History table. Next time when you open the BMR page, you will see your last input as the default numbers. This way you only have to change the numbers that changed since the last time when you used this calculator.

Tap on the History button to see the history table.
