This tool helps you accurately count your daily calorie intake and manage your nutrition effectively.
How the Calorie Calculator Works
This calorie calculator estimates your daily caloric needs based on the Harris-Benedict Equation. The calculator first calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using your age, gender, weight, and height. BMR is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic life-sustaining functions.
Next, it multiplies your BMR by an activity factor that corresponds to your level. The activity factors are:
- 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)
- Extra active: very hard exercise/sports & physical job (BMR x 1.9)
The resulting value gives you an estimate of the calories you need to maintain your current weight given your specified level of physical activity.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your age in the ‘Age’ field.
- Select your gender from the ‘Gender’ dropdown menu.
- Enter your weight in kilograms in the ‘Weight’ field.
- Enter your height in centimeters in the ‘Height’ field.
- Select your activity level from the ‘Activity Level’ dropdown menu.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to get your results.
Limitations
