BMR Calculator for PCOS, Thyroid & Hormonal Health – Delhi NCR

Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — the number of calories your body needs at complete rest. Specially useful for women with PCOS, hypothyroidism, and insulin resistance to plan sustainable calorie intake.

Why BMR Calculation is Important for PCOS & Thyroid Patients

Women with hypothyroidism often have 10-20% lower BMR, while PCOS can affect metabolism due to insulin resistance. Knowing your exact BMR helps avoid under-eating or over-restricting calories, which can further damage metabolism.

BMR Interpretation for Indian Women

  • Low BMR (< 1200 kcal): Common in hypothyroidism. Needs careful calorie planning.
  • Normal BMR (1200-1600 kcal): Typical for sedentary to lightly active women.
  • Higher BMR (> 1600 kcal): Seen in taller or more muscular women.

FAQ – BMR for Hormonal Health

Does thyroid medicine increase BMR?

Yes, proper thyroid medication (Levothyroxine) can bring BMR back to normal range. Regular testing is important.

How can I increase my BMR naturally?

Build muscle through strength training, eat enough protein, manage stress, and ensure good sleep. Crash diets actually lower BMR.
