In another article, I teach you how to use the Harris-Benedict Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
The new Wolfram computational knowledge engine will do this for you, automatically. According to the Wolfram FAQ page, “[Wolfram aims] to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything.” Sounds good, huh?
Check it out here.
Using the numbers from the Harris-Benedict article linked to above, I typed this string into the search box:
metabolic rate 155 pound man 5′10″ 25 years old
…and Wolfram responded with a beautiful set of charts detailing the calorie requirements for various levels of activity:
Input information:
Basal metabolic rate:
Energy expenditure:
Give it a try! It’s a wonderful way to play around with the Harris-Benedict equation.
