How It Calculates the Results

The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the amount of energy expended while at rest.

For Males: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight) + (4.799 x height) – (5.677 x age)
For Females: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight) + (3.098 x height) – (4.330 x age)

The result is then multiplied by the Activity Level to estimate your daily calorie allowance.

Limitations

While the calculator provides a good estimate of your daily calorie needs, results can vary based on individual differences in metabolism and other factors. Consult a healthcare or nutrition professional for more personalized advice.
