How to calculate your BMR manually without a BMR Calculator

Males and females have to use different equations to determine their BMR. Use this formula with the assumption that males have a higher percentage of lean body weight than females (more lean body weight = increased BMR).

Males

BMR = 66 + (13.75 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) – (6.8 x age in yrs)

Females

BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) – (4.7 x age in Yrs)

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:

1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.1
2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.275
3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.35
4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.525

Mandy Maree Admiraal

Like many mums, Mandy struggled with weight gain AFTER having children and was desperate to lose the extra weight and reclaim her body. Mandy began her Healthy Mummy journey in 2017 after signing up to The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and following the family-friendly workouts and meals plans. She says “I started losing weight in April last year.” Fast forward to Oct 2018, Mandy says “I am now at the lightest I have ever been!”. She has lost 26.7kgs (down from 94.5kg to 67.8kg) and gone from a size 18 to a size 8 and is looking and feeling FANTASTIC!

 Cassie McKay

Cassie McKay has lost 10KGs on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge and isn’t looking back!  “Still on the hunt for the perfect swimsuit. I’m currently having completely different issues now to before The Healthy Mummy. Then – I felt uncomfortable and struggled to find a pair I liked.  Now – I’ve tried on so many pairs…. and I love them all!! It’s the first time in my life I’ve ever had this “problem” – even as a teenager I lacked self-confidence. I love that The Healthy Mummy has helped me to finally find it within myself.”

Dominique East

Dominique East made her health a priority and is the fittest, healthiest and happiest she has ever been! In October 2017 she weighed 93kg* and was a size 18.  Dominique says, “this was my starting point, this is where I was most unfit, most unhappy with myself and most self-conscious. I hated how I looked in photos, hated how I felt in clothes and would pick at every single flaw. I had no energy no enthusiasm for anything.” Today, October 2018 Dominique is 68kgs and size 8/10. “I am the fittest, healthiest and happiest I have ever been. I love how I feel in photos, I love how I feel when I get dressed and I also only try on one outfit when getting ready!”
