BMR per Kilogram Calculator
Metabolic intensity — resting kcal per kg of body weight and per kg of lean mass, a fairer between-person comparison.
Typical adults run 20–25 kcal/kg/day at rest; expressed per kilogram of lean mass the figure clusters near 27–32 for almost everyone — most apparent 'fast' or 'slow' metabolism between people of the same size is body-composition difference, not metabolic magic.
