What are calories?
Calories are a measurement of energy. The body
stores excess energy in fat cells.
How many calories should I eat?
That depends on your goals, if you wish to maintain weight, lose weight,or gain weight. This calculator can give you an approximation of how
many calories you need to maintain your current weight.
To determine the amount of calories needed to sustain your current
weight and metabolism use this calorie per day formula:
Calories/Day = BMR x Activity Multiplier
Example: For a body with a BMR of 1605 and an exercise level of
4 days/week:
Calories/Day = 1605 x 1.550
This gives an answer of 2,488 calories/day needed to meet current body
energy needs.
