This tool helps you calculate the calories you need for your MMA training.
Welcome to the MMA Calorie Calculator! This tool will help you estimate the number of daily calories you need based on your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. Simply fill out all the fields and click on “Calculate” to get your results.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter your age.
- Select your gender.
- Input your weight in kilograms.
- Input your height in centimeters.
- Choose your activity level from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to see your daily calorie needs.
How It Calculates:
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories you’d burn if you were at rest all day. The formula is different for men and women:
- For men: BMR = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) – 5 * age (years) + 5
- For women: BMR = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) – 5 * age (years) – 161
The resulting BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor that corresponds to your selected activity level to give your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight.
Limitations:
- This calculator provides an estimate and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
- Factors such as muscle mass, metabolic health, and individual variations can affect calorie needs.
