Estimate basal metabolic rate with formula choice and optional lean-mass inputs.
Mifflin-St Jeor remains useful as the default, but lean-mass-based models may offer a better fit when body-fat percentage is known or reasonably estimated. They are still approximations, not direct measurements.
Lean-mass-based equations can be more informative when body composition is far from average, such as in muscular individuals, recomposition phases or cases where body-fat percentage is reasonably known.
This does not eliminate error, but it helps avoid treating every kilogram of body weight as if it carried the same metabolic meaning.

Medical disclaimer: this is an educational estimate for adults aged 20+. BMR equations can be inaccurate for individuals; do not use this as a diet prescription without professional guidance.
BMR estimates energy at rest. When body-fat percentage is provided, the tool also estimates lean mass and compares models that may better reflect people whose body composition differs from the average built into simpler equations.
Mifflin-St Jeor uses weight, height, age and sex coefficient. It is the default reference when body-composition data is not available.
Sex, age, height, weight and body-fat percentage stay in your browser and are not sent to analytics.
