Resting metabolic rate

If I use Dr. Hyman's formula to figure my resting metabolic rate I come up with 2750 calories a day. This seems very high -did I calculate it correctly?

I'll search, while you Cool wait.

If you can provide the link for the formula and the equations you use to obtain a 2750 calories per day metabolic rate, someone may be able to check it for you.

forgive my ignornorance...who is dr. hyman?

here is a really easy, rule of thumb way to figure out the total amount of calories needed throught the day:

for a person who is at their ideal body weight: appx. 22-26 kcals/kg of body weight. if you want to lose weight, subtract 500 calories and/or burn calories during exercise.
