Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 0.9 x 70.4 kilos x 24 = 1520 calories for BMR As she is a bit older (not sure if post menopausal, peri menipausal or in menopause) her calories could be counted a little lower like at 0.8 kcal per kg per hour, however this is just BMR. In order to sit and type and watch tv and sleep she needs to go by her RMR which would be 500-600 calories more than BMR. I would add on say 500 or 400 considering the age factor. Putting her at an RMR of 1920-2020. If she exercises she needs to determine her exercise level and add calories accordingly from 300-600. If she wishes to lose weight a 200-500 a day deficit is healhty. Hope this helps. > Can someone help me figure out the BMR of a friend of mine? She is 48 yrs > old, 4 ft 11 in and weighs 155.
