The calorie calculator helps you determine your daily caloric needs to achieve your health goals.
How to Use the Calorie Calculator
To use the calorie calculator, simply fill in your personal information including gender, age, height, weight, and activity level. Once all fields are completed, click the “Calculate” button to see your estimated daily calorie needs.
How It Calculates the Results
The calorie calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor to give you the daily calorie needs based on your activity level:
- Sedentary: little or no exercise – BMR x 1.2
- Lightly active: light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week – BMR x 1.375
- Moderately active: moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week – BMR x 1.55
- Very active: hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week – BMR x 1.725
- Super active: very hard exercise/sports and physical job – BMR x 1.9
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate only and does not take into account other factors such as muscle mass, metabolic health, or other personal conditions. Consult a healthcare provider for a more personalized assessment.
