BMI Calculator

Are you overweight?

Find out by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI) . BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.

Calculate Your Daily Calorie Needs

Your Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), also called BMR is an estimate of how many calories(energy) you would need to carry out fundamental metabolic functions, such as breathing, ion transport, etc. This is the energy spent while you are in the fasted state, lying quietly in a room at a comfortable temperature.

Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) is an estimate of how much energy/calories you would need to support your BEE/BMR, digestion, and your daily physical activities.

Nyoot uses the Mifflin St. Jeor's Equation in calculating BMR. The Mifflin St. Jeor equation takes into account the lifestyle changes in the last 100 years; hence, is believed to be more accurate. If you are interested in running your own calculation, the formulae are as follows:

Men: (10 * weight in kg) + (6.25 * height in cm) - (5 * age in years) +5
Women: (10 * weight in kg) + (6.25 * height in cm) -(5 * age in years) -161.
Remember that even the best BMR calculators provide only the result of a predictive equation and should be used as a guide only.

Calories Burned Calculator

Every calorie counts.The more active you are, the more calories you burn. Running or jogging, for instance, burns more calories than bowling. Standing while working on the computer burns more calories than sitting at your desk. Your weight also affects the number of calories burned. Fill in your weight and the calculator will provide you with a list of activities and an approximation of how many calories you will burn at your indicated number of minutes.

The calculator does not account for the differences in body mass, adiposity, age, sex, and geographic and environmental conditions in which the activities are performed. While this calculator guides you, this is not intended to replace the evaluation of a healthcare professional.
