๐งฌ The Science Behind Resting Metabolic Rate Calculation
Scientific approach to resting metabolic rate calculation while seated
โก Core Calculation Formula
Our sitting calorie calculation uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then applies a sedentary activity factor of 1.2 to account for the minimal energy expenditure while sitting. The formula: BMR = 655 + (9.6 ร weight in kg) + (1.8 ร height in cm) - (4.7 ร age in years), then multiplied by 1.2 for sitting metabolic rate.
๐ฌ Scientific Validation
Journal of Clinical Medicine (2020) Research confirms that resting metabolic rate accounts for 60-75% of total daily energy expenditure, with sitting burning 1-1.5 calories per minute.
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2019) Studies show that basal metabolic rate varies by age, weight, and muscle mass, with brain activity consuming 20% of resting calories.
Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental (2021) Scientific analysis reveals that even during complete rest, the body performs thousands of metabolic processes that continuously burn energy.
