Active Metabolic Rate Calculator
Calculate Active Metabolic Rate including daily occupation and deliberate training
Calories burned strictly through movement and activity (Total TDEE: 2633 kcal)
Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: Active Metabolic Rate Delta
AMR = TDEE - BMRIsolates active movement energy (NEAT + EAT) from involuntary resting organ consumption.
Model Assumptions
- Standard occupational activity patterns
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| TDEE | Total expenditure | kcal |
| BMR | Basal expenditure | kcal |
Scientific Limitations
- Varies widely on training vs non-training days

A new predictive equation for resting energy expenditure in healthy individuals (1990)
Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, Hill LA, Scott BJ, Daugherty SA, Koh YO (1990) — The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 51(2), 241-247
Key Finding: Mifflin-St Jeor equation is accurate within ±10% of measured REE in non-obese and obese individuals, recommended by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as the most reliable standard equation.
