🔥 Mifflin–St Jeor BMR / REE
UseWhen to use: outpatient nutrition planning in ambulatory adults.
StrataREE in kcal/day; multiply by activity factor for rough TEE.
LimitsWhen not to use: as ICU calorie prescription alone. · Pitfall: using ideal instead of actual weight without intent. · Prefer indirect calorimetry when critical illness.

When to use
When to use: outpatient nutrition planning in ambulatory adults.
How it works
REE=10·wt(kg)+6.25·ht(cm)−5·age+(+5 male / −161 female).
Key points
- kcal/day REE.
- Sex constant ±.
- Next: dietitian targets.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

| Weight | 70 kg |
| Height | 170 cm |
| Age | 45 y |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does Mifflin–St Jeor BMR / REE upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is Mifflin–St Jeor BMR / REE calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Sex Male (+5), Weight 70 kg, Height 170 cm, Age 45 y, Activity factor (optional TEE) Light ×1.375 → Result: REE 1543 kcal/d（TEE (if AF applied): 2121 kcal/d, Formula: 10·wt + 6.25·ht − 5·age + sex const） Inputs: Sex Female (−161), Weight 70 kg, Height 170 cm, Age 45 y, Activity factor (optional TEE) Very active ×1.725 → Result: REE 1377 kcal/d（TEE (if AF applied): 2374 kcal/d, Formula: 10·wt + 6.25·ht − 5·age + sex const）
