📖
What is the Meal Calorie Calculator & How does it work?
Calories are a unit of energy that the body uses to function. Understanding your daily calorie needs is crucial for maintaining a healthy diet and weight management. The total number of calories you need depends on several factors, including age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
text{Calories} = text{BMR} times text{Activity Factor}
BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate, Activity Factor = Level of physical activity
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain vital functions. The Harris-Benedict equation is commonly used to estimate BMR:
text{BMR} = 88.362 + (13.397 times text{weight in kg}) + (4.799 times text{height in cm}) – (5.677 times text{age in years})
weight in kg = weight in kilograms, height in cm = height in centimeters, age in years = age in years
