This tool will help you calculate the calories in your meals using Kroger products.
How to Use the Kroger Calorie Calculator:
To use this calculator, input your gender, age, weight in kilograms, height in centimeters, and select your activity level. Then click the “Calculate” button to see your daily calorie needs.
How it Works:
The calorie calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), and then multiplies this by an activity factor to estimate your daily calorie needs.
- BMR for men = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) – 5 * age + 5
- BMR for women = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) – 5 * age – 161
Daily Calorie Needs = BMR * Activity Level
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate and may not be accurate for everyone. Factors such as muscle mass, genetics, and health conditions can affect individual calorie needs. Always consult a healthcare professional for more accurate guidance.
