K'n'S Fitness - BMI / BMR Calculators
What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is an estimate of the amount of Body Fat an individual has,
based on a simple calculation using height and weight you can calculate the amount of Body Fat that you have.

What is Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?
You use energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping. Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you'd burn if
you stayed in bed all day.
If you've noticed that every year, it becomes harder to eat whatever you want and stay slim, you've also learnt
that your BMR decreases as you age. Likewise, depriving yourself of food in hopes of losing weight also decreases your BMR, this will foil your
intentions.
However, a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise can increase your BMR, improving your health and fitness when your body's
ability to burn energy gradually slows down.
Once you know your BMR, you can calculate your Daily Calorie Needs based on your activity level
using the Harris Benedict Equation.
