Recommended Calories Calculations:
Step 1 :
BMR calculation:
The Harris–Benedict equations revised by Mifflin and St Jeor in 1990:[4]
Men
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) +5
Women
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) -161
Step 2 :
Calculate calories need as per Activity level
calories = bmr * Activity Multiplier
Sedentary (No Exercise), “Multiplier” : 1.2,
Lightly Active (Walking, Yoga, etc), ” Multiplier ” : 1.375,
Moderately Active (Train around 3 times a week), “Multiplier” : 1.55,
Super Active (Train more than 3 times a week) “Multiplier” : 1.7,
Step 3 :
We reduce by 500 calories in case of weight loss
