I have found close to 4 different ways to calculate BMR. The results are completely different for all 3. Let's take an example of a male who is 6' tall and 200lbs and 28yrs old.
Harris and Benedict equation: 2,035 cals at low activity rate
Katch-McArdle formula: 2,211
Quick method: 3,100
And the good ole fashioned 10-12x bodyweight = 2,000 - 2,400
So which is the accurate one? Any ideas?
