Estimate basal metabolic rate and daily energy needs with a published equation for users in UAE.
Direct answer
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate basal metabolic rate from age, sex input, weight, and height. It multiplies BMR by an activity factor to estimate daily energy expenditure.
Why the result is an estimate
Metabolism and activity are not measured directly by the form. Health conditions, pregnancy, body composition, medication, growth, and inaccurate activity selection can make actual needs differ substantially.
Use a safe next step
Treat the output as a reference, not a prescription. Avoid extreme calorie changes based only on a calculator. A registered dietitian or qualified clinician in UAE can assess medical needs and monitor an appropriate plan.
