Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How do I calculate my BMR? To calculate your BMR, you would usually use the Harris-Benedict equation: For women, it’s: BMR = 655.1 + (9.563 × weight in kg) + (1.850 × height in cm)-(4.676 × age) . For men, the formula is: BMR = 66.5 + (13.75 × weight in kg) + (5.003 × height in cm)-(6.75 × age) .
Detailed explanation-2: -A clinical grade metabolic test is the only accurate way to measure your caloric requirements. This can be carried out at rest or during activity so that you can understand how many calories you burn during exercise, which can help you to accurately fuel for an event.
