These equations estimate population averages. Katch-McArdle needs a reliable body-fat estimate; measurement error affects the result.

The method, in plain language.

A method explained by NASM.

NASM’s public calorie guide describes the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: 10 × weight in kg + 6.25 × height in cm − 5 × age, with +5 for men or −161 for women. It then applies activity factors from 1.2 to 1.9. This page implements that published calculation method; there is no separate proprietary NASM equation here.

Independent tool, clear attribution.

xfit is not affiliated with or endorsed by NASM. This calculator helps you understand the publicly described method and carry your result into a food log. It does not reproduce NASM’s full proprietary calculator or replace individualized assessment. Review the original guide and use your real tracking data to refine the estimate.
