How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain basic bodily functions. The BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor based on your selected activity level to provide an estimate of your daily caloric need.
- Sedentary: BMR * 1.2
- Lightly active: BMR * 1.375
- Moderately active: BMR * 1.55
- Active: BMR * 1.725
- Very active: BMR * 1.9
