1. What is Daily Calorie Burn Without Exercise?

Daily calorie burn without exercise represents the total energy expenditure from basal metabolic rate (BMR) and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). This includes calories burned for basic bodily functions and daily activities excluding structured exercise.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( BMR \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at complete rest)
• \( NEAT \) — Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (calories from daily activities)

Explanation: BMR is calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, while NEAT is estimated based on activity level multipliers applied to BMR.

3. Importance of Calculating Daily Calorie Burn

Details: Understanding your daily calorie burn is essential for weight management, creating appropriate diet plans, and maintaining energy balance for optimal health.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter accurate weight in kg, height in cm, age in years, select gender and activity level. All values must be valid (weight > 0, height > 0, age between 1-120).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
A: BMR is calories burned at complete rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes all activities including exercise.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides a good estimate for most people, but individual variations in metabolism and activity patterns can affect accuracy.

Q3: Should I use this for weight loss planning?
A: Yes, this calculation helps establish a baseline for creating a calorie deficit while ensuring adequate energy for daily activities.

Q4: How often should I recalculate my calorie burn?
A: Recalculate when your weight changes significantly, activity level changes, or every 3-6 months to account for metabolic adaptations.

Q5: Does this include calories burned during sleep?
A: Yes, BMR includes calories burned during sleep and basic bodily functions that occur 24/7.
