The Mathematics Behind It
What is the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation?
It maps the exact thermodynamic cost of a dormant human structure. For men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) + 5. For women: it offsets by subtracting 161 instead of adding 5 to account for innate density ratios.
