To Calculate your Calorie Requirements: The following method uses factors like height, weight, age, and sex to determine basal metabolic rate (BMR), using which we can determine your calorie requirements. Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years) Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years) After calculating your BMR, you can estimate your calorie requirements by multiplying your BMR by your activity multiplier from the chart below: Activity Multiplier Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 Light activity = BMR X 1.375 Moderate activity = BMR X 1.55 Heavy activity = BMR X 1.725 Super active = BMR X 1.9 Sedentary - Desk Job, No Exercise Light activity - Light Exercise (2-3 days/week) Moderate activity - Moderate exercise (3-5 days/week) Heavy activity - Heavy exercise (Everyday) Super active - (Heavy exercise - Sportsmen, heavy workers) |
