Daily Calorie Intake Calculator

The daily calorie intake calculator estimates your daily calories requirements in order to maintain, lose or gain weigh based on your BMR (weight, height, age and gender) and physical exercise level.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) represents an estimate of calories burned while resting and it is measured in kilo joules per hour per kilogram of body mass.

A restful state refers to the energy sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs: the heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, liver, intestine, sex organs, muscles, brain and skin.

The referenced formulas used to calculate the daily calorie expenditure based on physical activity levels are listed below along with a section on calories burned based on specific physical activity type.
