BMR Calculator: Basal Metabolic Rate Estimation 🧮✨

This repository contains a Python script, BasalMetabolicRate.py, for calculating the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Harris-Benedict equation and the Katch-McArdle formula. It provides quick estimations of BMR based on weight, height, age, and lean body weight.

---

Features ✨

• Harris-Benedict Equation: Estimate BMR using standard metrics.
• Katch-McArdle Formula: Calculate BMR based on lean body mass.
• Simple Interface: Easy-to-use class for testing and customization.

---

Prerequisites 🛠️

• Python 3.6+ installed on your system.

---

Installation

1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/your-username/bmr-calculator.git
   cd bmr-calculator

2. Run the script:
   python asalMetabolicRate.py

---

Usage 🔧

Example Script

The script defines the BasalMetabolicRate class with the following methods:

• bmr(): Calculates BMR using the Harris-Benedict equation.
• katchmacardle(): Calculates BMR using the Katch-McArdle formula.
• show(): Prints the BMR result to the console.

You can modify the parameters directly in the class or extend it for dynamic input.

Sample Code

from asalMetabolicRate import BasalMetabolicRate

# Instantiate the BMR class
bmr_calculator = BasalMetabolicRate()

# Display BMR using the Harris-Benedict equation
print("BMR (Harris-Benedict):", bmr_calculator.bmr())

# Display BMR using the Katch-McArdle formula
print("BMR (Katch-McArdle):", bmr_calculator.katchmacardle())
