To calculate calories in an easy-to-understand way, follow these steps.
1. Know your basal metabolic rate (BMR): This is the number of calories your body needs each day to maintain basic functions (such as breathing and digestion) and is calculated based on age, gender, height and weight.
- Equation for men.
BMR = (88.362 + (13.397 ร weight in kilograms) + (4.799 ร length in centimeters) - (5.677 ร up to age))
2. Calculating price by daily activity: After calculating the basal metabolic rate, we add up your daily activity. Use one of the following numbers based on your activity level.
- Small activities (e.g., desk work): BMR ร 1.2
- Light activity (e.g., light exercise): BMR x 1.375
- Average activity (e.g., regular exercise): BMR ร 1.55
- High activity (e.g., vigorous exercise): BMR ร 1.725
- Extreme activity (e.g., hard physical labor): BMR ร 1.9
3. Calorie goals.
- Maintain weight: Eat fully counted calories.
- Lose weight: Products lacking about 500 calories.
- Weight gain: Increase about 500 calories.
