How to calculate your caloric intake for the day?

Daily intake of the calories can be counted by hand, and it is possible again to use a special program. The easiest way to calculate your daily intake of calories is to use the online calculator which can be found on many sites.





But you can do it yourself. Moreover, this is not necessarily to understand higher mathematics. One of the most common formulas to determine the minimum daily calorie requirement is based on the basic metabolic rate: RMR. This figure will show how many calories a day body is required only to support life (growth of hair, pumping blood, breathing, etc.).

RMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) — (4.7 x age)





To determine how full the body's need for energy and calories need to multiply the RMR, corresponding to your gender, age and weight, by a factor depending on your level of physical activity within the week.
