This tool helps you calculate the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight.
How to use the Equilibrium Calorie Calculator:
Fill in your age, select your gender, enter your weight in kilograms, your height in centimeters, and choose your activity level from the dropdown. Click “Calculate” to see your daily equilibrium calorie needs.
How it works:
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the number of calories you’d burn if you stayed in bed all day. It then multiplies your BMR by your activity level to estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which is the number of calories you should consume per day to maintain your current weight.
Calculation Details:
– For men: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) + 5
– For women: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) – 161
– TDEE = BMR x Activity Factor
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate and may not be accurate for individuals with very high muscle mass or very low body fat. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
