Hi,
I’ve found on Wikipedia the following formula to calculate the BMR estimation
We can read just after the formula:
According to this formula, the woman in the example above has a BMR of 1,204 kilocalories (5,040 kJ) per day.
But when I take their example of a 55-year-old woman weighing 130 pounds (59 kg) and 66 inches (170 cm)
and do
((10*55)+(6,25*170)-(5*55))-161I get 1,217 and not 1,204Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks.
