Basal Energy Expenditure

Calculates daily energy expenditure based on gender, height and weight for caloric requirements.

Note: The BEE must be multiplied by activity and stress factors to calculate total caloric requirement.

Men's Basal Energy Expenditure = 66.5 + (13.75 x Wt in kg) + (5.003 x Ht in cm) - (Age * 6.775)
Women's Basal Energy Expenditure = 655.1 + (9.563 x Wt in kg) + (1.850 x Ht in cm) - (Age * 4.676)
