If you want to lose weight, it makes sense to begin by understanding your metabolic rate.
Metabolic Rate Definition
Your resting metabolic rate is the number of calories your body uses at rest. You simply take the amount of calories you plan to eat and subtract your RMR and any additional calories you will burn from exercise to determine your daily calorie deficit. Use the rmr calculator below to get started.

Metabolic Rate Equation
9.99 (weight in kg) + 6.25(height in cm) – 4.92 (age) + 166 (0 if female, 1 if male) -161
Metabolic Rate Calculator or RMR Calculator
To calculate your weight in kg, divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.
To calculate your height in cm, take your height in inches X 2.54
Measuring Metabolic Rate
Here is my example, I am 44, 6″1, 203lbs so the equation for me is:
9.99 (203 / 2.2) + 6.25 (73 X 2.54) – 4.92 (44) = 166 – 161 = 1869.2
