Our calorie chart is easy to read, and you can easily count the calories in food that you eat. If you have a daily caloric requirement that you want to meet, or you need to monitor your caloric intake, our calorie counting technique is for you. Extra active (very hard exercise/sports twice a day or heavy physical work) physical activity: Daily caloric intake = BMR x 1.9 Calorie counting is an easy way for you to manage your weight.

Very active (hard exercise/sport 6-7 times a week or standing work or walking work) physical activity: Daily caloric intake = BMR x 1.725 Moderately active (moderate exercise/sport 3-5 times a week or partly physical work) physical activity: Daily caloric intake = BMR x 1.55 Lightly active (light exercise/sport 1-3 times a week or mostly sedentary work or little physical work): Daily caloric intake = BMR x 1.375 For sedentary (little or no exercise/sport) physical activity: Daily caloric intake = BMR x 1.2 The obtained value must be multiplied by a value depending on our physical activity: The World Health Organization uses the Harris-Benedict formula. To calculate how many calories our body needs, we must first determine the BMR, our value of metabolism. If we want to lose weight, we should keep our daily caloric intake below this value, and if we want to gain weight, we should keep our daily caloric intake above this value.įor the calculation, we use the formula and With the daily caloric intake can be determined how many calories are needed by our body.
