This tool will estimate the number of calories you burn while wearing an Apple Watch.
Calorie Calculator Explanation
This calorie calculator will help you determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Enter your height in centimeters.
- Enter your age in years.
- Select your gender.
- Select your activity level from the provided options.
- Click on the “Calculate” button.
How it Calculates the Results:
The calculator uses the following equations to calculate your BMR:
- For males: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 * weight) + (4.799 * height) – (5.677 * age)
- For females: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 * weight) + (3.098 * height) – (4.330 * age)
Your TDEE is then calculated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor that corresponds to your activity level:
- Sedentary: BMR * 1.2
- Lightly active: BMR * 1.375
- Moderately active: BMR * 1.55
- Very active: BMR * 1.725
- Super active: BMR * 1.9
Limitations:
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. Factors such as muscle mass, hormonal imbalances, and other health conditions may affect your actual calorie needs.
