Source: R/compute_bmr.R
compute_bmr.Rd

This function computes Basal Metabolic Rate in kcal/d using a Henry et al. (2005; doi: 10.1079/PHN2005801) equation. This function is wrapped within the mark_intensity and recap_by_day functions.

Usage

compute_bmr(
  age = 40,
  sex = c("male", "female", "intersex", "undefined", "prefer not to say"),
  weight = 70
)

Arguments

age

A numeric value in yr.

sex

A character value.

weight

A numeric value in kg.

Value

A numeric value.

Examples

compute_bmr(age = 32, sex = "male", weight = 67)
#> You have computed BMR using the following inputs: 
#>     age = 32
#>     weight = 67
#>     sex = male
#> [1] 1544.4
