Calculations

How calorie targets are calculated.

RepBite AI uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate BMR, applies an activity multiplier to estimate TDEE, then adjusts the result based on your goal.

Result

BMR

1778 kcal

TDEE

2133 kcal

Target

1813 kcal

Step-by-step calculation

1. Formula used

Mifflin-St Jeor Equation

2. BMR

BMR = 10 × 86 + 6.25 × 170 - 5 × 30 + 5

3. BMR result

BMR = 1778 kcal/day

4. Activity multiplier

sedentary multiplier = 1.2

5. TDEE

TDEE = 1778 × 1.2 = 2133 kcal/day

6. Goal adjustment

Goal multiplier = 0.85

7. Final calorie target

Target = 2133 × 0.85 = 1813 kcal/day

Formula reference

Mifflin-St Jeor BMR: BMR = 10 × weight(kg) + 6.25 × height(cm) - 5 × age + S

S = +5 for male, -161 for female.

TDEE: TDEE = BMR × activity multiplier

Goal target: Target calories = TDEE × goal multiplier
