Daily Calorie Requirement

Are you obese and need to lose weight? What is your ideal body weight for your gender and height? Do you have excessive body fat? What is your recommended daily caloric intake according to your activity to maintain, lose or gain weight? Do you want to know the amount of calories burned in any exercise or activity? What is your recommended daily intake of different nutrients to maintain your health? The answers for all these questions and more are present in our online nutritional calculators.This calculator gives you the basal metabolic rate (BMR), daily requirements of calorie, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in terms of calories and grams/day in adult males and females in 3 cases:

To maintain current weight.
To lose weight by a certain number of pounds per week.
To gain weight by a certain number of pounds per week.

This calorie calculator will help you, if you are trying to lose weight and control obesity. Obviously, if you are trying to lose weight, you must use more calories than you take in. The best way and the accepted way for weight loss is to lose weight over a long run, making slight intake reduction changes and slight increases in calorie burning.

*To lose weight, 500 calories are subtracted per day for each pound you want to lose every week. To gain weight, 500 calories are added per day for each pound you want to gain every week. However, total calorie levels < 1200 calories are not recommended and weight loss of > 2 pounds per week is also not recommended. For a more balanced approach to a 1 pound per week weight loss, increase your activity. Decrease calorie intake by 250 calories per day and exercising to expend (use up) the other 250 calories. This approach prevents a decrease in your metabolic rate and promotes increased lean muscle mass. Powered by AllNutritionals.com-Free Nutritional Health Tools
