September 25, 2024Health
Understanding Calorie Needs
Your daily calorie needs depend on several factors including age, gender, weight, height, and activity level.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR is the number of calories your body burns at rest. It's the foundation for calculating total daily calorie needs.
Activity Levels
- Sedentary: Little or no exercise
- Light: Exercise 1-3 days per week
- Moderate: Exercise 3-5 days per week
- Active: Exercise 6-7 days per week
- Very Active: Intense exercise daily
Weight Management
To lose weight, consume fewer calories than your daily needs. To gain weight, consume more.
