# Resting Metabolic Rate Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Resting Metabolic Rate Calculator MCP provides the math needed to drive your nutrition strategy. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your base metabolic rate and total daily energy expenditure. Your AI client can then use these numbers to suggest specific protein, fat, and carbohydrate targets based on your personal fitness goals.

## Description

You can stop guessing your caloric needs and start using math. This MCP acts as a metabolic engine for your AI client, handling the heavy lifting of nutritional calculations. Instead of manually looking up formulas, you just give your agent your physical stats and its goal. It calculates your base metabolic rate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then adjusts that number based on how much you move to find your total daily energy expenditure. Once those numbers are set, your agent can build a specific breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbs that fits your specific objective, whether you are trying to lose weight or build muscle. It is a direct way to turn physical data into an actionable eating plan through your preferred AI interface.

## Tools

### get_activity_multipliers
This tool provides the standard multipliers used to adjust metabolic rates for different activity levels.

### calculate_rmr
This tool calculates your base Resting Metabolic Rate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.

### calculate_tdee
This tool estimates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure by applying activity multipliers to your RMR.

### recommend_macronutrients
This tool generates a specific caloric distribution for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the RMR for a 30-year-old male weighing 80kg and 180cm tall?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is 1812.0 calories per day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate TDEE for an RMR of 1500 with a sedentary activity level.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is 1800.0 calories per day.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me macronutrient recommendations for 2000 calories with a weight loss goal.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a weight loss goal at 2000 calories, you should consume 200.0g of protein, 55.6g of fat, and 175.0g of carbohydrates.
```

## Capabilities

### Base Metabolic Calculation
Your agent uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to find your RMR.

### Activity Adjustment
The AI applies activity multipliers to determine your total daily energy needs.

### Macro Distribution
Your client calculates specific gram amounts for proteins, fats, and carbs.

### Goal-Based Planning
The agent adjusts caloric splits for weight loss or muscle gain.

## Use Cases

### Weight Loss Planning
Your agent calculates a caloric deficit and the corresponding macro split to support fat loss.

### Muscle Building
The AI determines the necessary caloric surplus and protein requirements for hypertrophy.

### Activity Tracking
You update your activity level to see how your TDEE shifts throughout the week.

### Nutritional Auditing
Compare your current intake against the calculated macro recommendations provided by the MCP.

## Benefits

- Uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for standardized RMR results.
- Eliminates manual math by handling TDEE adjustments automatically.
- Provides specific gram targets for macros instead of just calorie totals.
- Works directly within your existing AI chat interface.

## How It Works

Getting metabolic data is a three-step process within your AI client.

1. Connect the MCP to your client via Vinkius.
2. Provide your physical stats like age, weight, and height to your agent.
3. Specify your activity level to calculate your TDEE.
4. Request a macronutrient breakdown based on your specific goal.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What formula does this MCP use for RMR?**
This MCP uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your Resting Metabolic Rate.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

**How does activity level affect my results?**
The tool uses standardized activity multipliers to adjust your RMR into a TDEE estimate.

**Does it provide specific gram amounts for food?**
Yes, the recommendation tool provides a specific breakdown of grams for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use immediately after connection.
