How this estimate works
Resting energy is estimated as 10 × weight in kg + 6.25 × height in cm − 5 × age, then +5 for male or −161 for female. BonusBurn multiplies that result by 1.2, 1.375, 1.55 or 1.725 for the selected activity level. Activity labels are necessarily rough, so compare the estimate with your real weight trend over several weeks.
