Calculate BMR for Men

• 1). Multiply your weight in pounds by 6.23 (Ex. 180 X 6.23=1121.4). Add 66 to this number (1121.4 + 66=1187.4).
  
  
• 2). Multiply your height in inches by 12.7 (tip: 12 inches in a foot) (Ex. 70 X 12.7=889). Add this number to the previous step's total (889 + 1187.4=2076.4).
  
  
• 3). Multiply your age in years by 6.8 (24 X 6.8=163.2). Subtract the total amount in the previous two steps by this number (2076.4 - 163.2=1913.2). By the example, a male weighing 180 lbs. and standing 5 feet 10 inches tall has a basic daily energy output of 1913.2 calories.

• 2). Multiply your height in inches by 4.7 (tip: 12 inches in a foot) (Ex. 65 X 4.7=305.5). Add this number to the previous step's total (305.5 + 1220.5=1526).
  
  
• 3). Multiply your age in years by 4.7 (24 X 4.7=112.8). Subtract the total amount in the previous two steps by this number (1526 - 112.8=1413.2). By the example, a female weighing 130 lbs. and standing 5 feet 5 inches tall has a basic daily energy output of 1413.2 calories.
