Basal Metabolic Rate Equations

F. Grande Method

Gender Age Equation
Male Not Defined BMR = ((Wt, Kg ^0.75) * 70)
Female Not Defined BMR = ((Wt, Kg ^0.75) * 70)

J. Harris & F. Benedict Method, 1919

Gender Age Equation
Male Not Defined BMR = 66.5 + [(13.7 * (Wt,Kg) ) + (5.0 * (Ht, Cm) ) - (6.8 * (age))]
Female Not Defined BMR = 655.1 + [(9.56 * (Wt,Kg) ) + (1.85 * (Ht, Cm) ) - (4.68 * (age))]

Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism, p 296

Gender Age Equation
Male Not Defined BMR = 1 (kcal/kg/hour) * wt,kg * 24 (hours)
Female Not Defined BMR = 0.9 (kcal/kg/hour) * wt, kg * 24 (hours)
