BMR calculator BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate and represents the number of calories required to keep your body functioning at rest. BMR is also known as your body’s metabolism; therefore, any increase to your metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase your BMR. To get your BMR, simply input your height, gender, age and weight below. Once you’ve determined your BMR, you can begin to monitor how many calories a day you need to maintain or lose weight. Our BMR calculator allows you to calculate not only the number of calories you burn when inactive, but also a daily calorie figure that takes into account your lifestyle activity level.

BMI calculator 

The body mass index (BMI) is a simple and the most commonly used index used to classify overweight and obesity. It is defined as a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2).

The World Health Organization defines overweight as a BMI of ≥ 25 and a BMI of ≥ 30 for obesity. However, because at any given BMI, Asians, including Singaporeans, generally have a higher percentage of body fat than do Caucasians, the BMI cut- off levels for Singaporeans have been revised such that a BMI 23 kg/m2 or higher marks a moderate increase in risk while a BMI 27.5 kg/m2 or more represents high risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

BMIs under 20.0 and over 25.0 have been associated with higher all-cause mortality, increasing risk from the 20.0–25.0 range.
