How this is calculated

Mifflin–St Jeor resting estimate = 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age + 5 (male equation) or −161 (female equation). Daily estimate multiplies this by your assumed activity factor; that factor is not part of the original equation. Carbohydrate share is the remainder after your chosen protein and fat shares. Protein/carbohydrate use 4 kcal per gram; fat uses 9. Original study.

Educational estimate, not a prescribed intake or weight-loss target. Not for children, pregnancy or clinical decisions. Activity and macro shares are assumptions; individual needs vary.
