66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
That is the formula used by most. So for Example, I'll use myself 66 + (6.3 x 260) + (12.9 x 74) - (6.8 x 26)= 66 + 1638 + 954.6 - 176.8 = 2,481.8 kcals / day Now depending on my activity level for the day this number will be higher, but this will help you get your BMR.
