How to Use the Calories Calculator

How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which represents the number of calories you’d burn if you did nothing but rest for 24 hours. The BMR calculation differs between men and women. It is then multiplied by the activity factor to estimate the total daily caloric requirement.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate of your daily caloric needs but may not be precise due to individual variations in metabolism and other factors. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
