BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
It is essentially the calories you burn at rest. Also called resting energy expenditure
and is mostly determined by your genetic makeup and body weight. It is the amount of
energy required to maintain the basal metabolism for a specified unit of time. The BMR
resulting from our machine based on 4 major factors: Sex, Height, Weight & Age. So
when you key in personal data, you will read your BMR in the computer.
You may also refer to below formula to calculate your BMR.
Male = 66 + (13.7 x Weight kg) + (5 x Height cm) - (6.8 x Age)
Female = 655 + (9.6 x weight kg) + (1.7 x Height cm) - (4.7 x Age)
