    The document describes the Harris Benedict Formula, which provides methods to calculate basal metabolic rate (BMR) through equations that take into account gender, weight, height, age, and activity level. It provides separate equations for men and women in both English and metric units, and defines activity factors that can be used to adjust the BMR based on levels of physical activity from sedentary to hard exercise several times a week.

    Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) via Harris Benedict Formula

    English Method
    Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) =
    _______ x ____ (activity factor) = __________ kcalories a day.

    Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year ) =
    _______ x ____ (activity factor) = __________ kcalories a day.

    Metric Method
    Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kg ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) =
    _______ x ____ (activity factor) = __________ kcalories a day.

    Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kg ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years ) =


    _______ x ____ (activity factor) = __________ kcalories a day.

    Activity factors:
    1.2 = sedentary 1.375 = light exercise 1-3 times weekly
    1.55 = moderate exercise 3-5 times weekly 1.75 = hard exercise 6-7 times weekly
