The BMI looks at the relationship

Generally, the number is small for "thin" people
and large for "overweight" people.

To calculate Basal Metabolic Rate

Men:      BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)


** 1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs

Your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR is the number of calories your body needs to carry out your
basic living functions and maintain your current weight. The BMR is different for men and women
and it changes as you age and weight changes.  If, for example, your BMR is 1488.93, it means
that you need 1488.93 calories to maintain your current weight.  In other words, your body will
automatically "burn" 1488.93 calories to carry out your basic living functions.  Any activity or
exercise you do will burn calories IN ADDITION to the BMR calories you will automatically burn.  
Generally, you must burn 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.
