You need your height, weight and age to calculate it. Here is an article that explains it and how to calculate it. It's very easy actually.
To calculate to your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) you need to know:
-Your Sex
-Your Height
-Your Weight
-Your Age
Imperial BMR Formula
Female BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Male BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )
Metric BMR Formula
Female BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Male BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )
Measuring your actual metabolic rate required constant analysis of your body. Your metabolic rate constantly changes, depending on what you are doing, orientation of your body, the food you have eaten, and lots more.

For women:
- 655+(4.3 x weight in lbs) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
For men:
- 66+(6.23 x weight in lbs) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

What does BMR stands for?
BMR stands for Basal metabolic RateIt is also called the resting metabolic rate and is the amount of energy you expend in a normal resting state at normal temperature.It is used to calculate your calorific expenditure
What increases the basal metabolic rate in an individual?
Elevating your heart rate increases your basal metabolic rate in an individual.
What is a basal metabolic rate?
A basal metabolic rate is an amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate climate.
What does the Basal Metabolic Rate represent?
The Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, is your metabolic rate, or how many calories that you burn, when you are completely at rest. It is responsible for most of the calories that you burn each day.
What affect basal metabolic rate?
ventricles
The amount of energy the body uses at complete rest known as the what?
The amount of energy used by the body at rest is sometimes called the basal metabolic rate.
The energy needed to fuel essential body processes is called?
Metabolism. Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR)
What is the body's resting rate of energy expenditure?
The body's resting rate of energy expenditure is known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR represents the energy required to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest, such as breathing, circulating blood, and regulating body temperature. It accounts for the largest portion of total daily energy expenditure.
