At its core, human biology operates on a fundamental principle of energy balance. Calories are the units of energy that fuel every process in your body, from the conscious movement of lifting weights to the subconscious beating of your heart.
Even when you are completely stationary, your body is a furnace of activity. Your BMR accounts for approximately 60% to 75% of your total daily calorie burn. It is influenced by several biological factors, including your age, sex, weight, and height.
At BioMetricly, our calorie calculator utilizes the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is currently regarded by the clinical community as the most reliable standard for healthy adults.
