The Burnt Fit Calorie Calculator For Men estimates daily calorie needs for weight loss using the formula: Calories = BMR × 1.55 - 500. This calculation is specifically designed for men with moderate activity levels who want to lose weight.
The calculator uses two formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The formula first calculates Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, then adjusts for activity level and creates a calorie deficit for weight loss.
Details: Accurate calorie calculation is crucial for effective weight management. Creating a 500-calorie daily deficit typically results in about 0.5kg weight loss per week, which is considered a safe and sustainable rate.
Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, and age in years. All values must be valid (weight > 0, height > 0, age between 1-120). The calculator is specifically designed for men with moderate activity levels.
Q1: Why use this specific formula for men?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation has different coefficients for men and women, accounting for physiological differences in metabolism.
Q2: What is considered "moderate activity level"?
A: Moderate activity typically includes exercise 3-5 times per week or a job that involves regular physical movement.
Q3: Is a 500-calorie deficit safe for everyone?
A: While generally safe for most men, individuals with specific health conditions should consult a healthcare provider before starting a calorie-restricted diet.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation is considered one of the most accurate BMR formulas, but individual variations in metabolism may affect results.
Q5: Should I adjust my calorie intake over time?
A: Yes, as you lose weight, your BMR decreases, so you may need to recalculate your calorie needs periodically for continued weight loss.
