This tool helps you calculate the calories burned during different activities.
How to Use the Calorie Counter
This calorie counter calculates your daily caloric needs based on your age, weight, height, gender, activity level, and fitness goal. Here’s how it works:
- Gender: Specify your gender.
- Age: Enter your age in years.
- Weight: Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Height: Enter your height in centimeters.
- Activity Level: Choose the option that best describes your daily activity level.
- Goal: Select your fitness goal (maintain, lose, or gain weight).
How It Calculates the Results
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. This BMR value is then multiplied by an activity factor to estimate your Maintenance Calories, i.e., the calories you need to maintain your current weight. Based on your fitness goal, it can recommend a higher or lower calorie intake:
- Maintain weight: Maintenance Calories
- Lose weight: Maintenance Calories – 500
- Gain weight: Maintenance Calories + 500
Limitations
This calorie counter provides estimates and should not replace professional dietary advice. Individual metabolism and other factors can affect actual caloric needs. For personalized guidance, consult a healthcare or nutrition professional.
