Our calorie counter tool syncs effortlessly with your Apple Watch to accurately track and manage your daily calorie intake.
How to Use the Calorie Counter
This calorie counter is designed to help you estimate your daily calorie expenditure based on your personal information and activity level. Please follow these steps:
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Enter your height in centimeters.
- Enter your age in years.
- Select your gender.
- Choose your general activity level from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the number of hours you exercise per week.
- Press the “Calculate” button to see the results.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator first determines your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on your weight, height, age, and gender using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation. Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic physiological functions.
Then, the calculator adjusts your BMR based on your chosen activity level to estimate your total daily calorie expenditure. Finally, it calculates the estimated calories burned per hour during exercise and multiplies this value by the total hours exercised per week to give you the total calories burned during exercise.
Limitations
While this calculator provides an estimate of your calorie needs and expenditure, it is essential to remember that individual variations can affect the accuracy of these estimates. Factors such as muscle mass, metabolic health, and actual exercise intensity are not accounted for in this calculation.
