Harris-Benedict Equation

The Harris-Benedict Equation is a formula used to estimate a person's daily calorie needs based on their age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. It helps determine how many calories you need to maintain, lose, or gain weight. The equation calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs at rest, and then adjusts for activity levels. This tool is commonly used in nutrition and fitness to create personalized diet and exercise plans, offering a foundational understanding of energy requirements for individuals.
