  1. For men: Daily calorie needs = BMR x activity level For women: Daily calorie needs = BMR x activity level
  2. Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on your age, gender, weight, and height using the following formula:

For men: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) + 5 For women: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) – 161

  1. Choose your activity level from the following options:
  • Sedentary: little to no exercise
  • Lightly active: exercise 1-3 times per week
  • Moderately active: exercise 3-5 times per week
  • Very active: exercise 6-7 times per week
  • Extra active: very strenuous exercise or physical job
  1. Multiply your BMR by your activity level to get your daily calorie needs.

Please note that this is just a basic formula, and there are many other factors that can affect your calorie needs, such as genetics, muscle mass, and health conditions. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine your specific calorie needs.
