How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs at rest. It then multiples your BMR by an activity factor to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Finally, it calculates the daily caloric intake required to reach your goal weight within the specified time frame.
Limitations
While the calculator provides an estimate of your calorie needs, actual requirements may vary based on various factors such as genetics, health conditions, and metabolic adaptations. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any weight loss or gain program.
