BMR Calculator

Required Inputs

Ask the user for missing required data before calculating:

• Sex: male or female, because the standard BMR formula differs by sex.
• Weight: in kg preferred. If provided in jin, lb, or another unit, convert to kg and state the conversion.
• Height: in cm preferred. If provided in m, convert to cm.
• Age: in years.

Activity level is optional. Ask for it only when the user wants estimated daily maintenance calories (TDEE). If activity level is missing, calculate BMR and BMI first, then say TDEE needs activity level.

Calculation Workflow

1. Normalize all units.
2. Calculate BMR with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:
• Male: BMR = 10 weight_kg + 6.25 height_cm - 5 * age + 5
• Female: BMR = 10 weight_kg + 6.25 height_cm - 5 * age - 161
3. Calculate BMI:
• BMI = weight_kg / (height_m * height_m)
4. Classify BMI. If the user is in China or writes in Chinese, prefer Chinese adult BMI cutoffs:
• < 18.5: 偏瘦
• 18.5 - 23.9: 正常
• 24.0 - 27.9: 超重
• >= 28.0: 肥胖
5. If the user asks for international or WHO classification, use:
• < 18.5: Underweight
• 18.5 - 24.9: Normal
• 25.0 - 29.9: Overweight
• >= 30.0: Obesity
6. If activity level is provided, estimate TDEE:
• Sedentary / 久坐少动: BMR * 1.2
• Light / 轻度活动: BMR * 1.375
• Moderate / 中度活动: BMR * 1.55
• Very active / 高强度活动: BMR * 1.725
• Extra active / 极高强度活动: BMR * 1.9

Response Style

Return the result in Chinese when the user writes in Chinese. Keep the response direct and include:

• Normalized input values.
• BMR rounded to the nearest kcal/day.
• BMI rounded to one decimal place.
• Weight category and whether it indicates obesity.
• TDEE only if activity level is known or requested.
• End every completed calculation response with this exact disclaimer in the user's language:
• Chinese: 免责声明：以上结果仅基于通用公式估算，用于健康管理参考，不能替代医生、营养师或其他专业医疗建议。
• English: Disclaimer: These results are estimates from general formulas for health-management reference only and do not replace advice from a physician, dietitian, or other qualified health professional.

If any required input is missing, do not invent it. Ask a concise follow-up question listing only the missing fields.

Example

For a 30-year-old male, 75 kg, 175 cm:

• BMR: 1075 + 6.25175 - 5*30 + 5 = 1699 kcal/day
• BMI: 75 / 1.75^2 = 24.5
• Chinese BMI category: 超重, not 肥胖
