1. What is This Calculator For?

This calculator estimates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), and recommended calorie intake for weight loss specifically for men.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equations:

\[ BMR = 10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age + 5 \] \[ TDEE = BMR \times activity\ factor \] \[ Daily\ calorie\ intake = TDEE - deficit \]

Where:

\( weight \) — Body weight in kilograms
\( height \) — Height in centimeters
\( age \) — Age in years
\( activity\ factor \) — Multiplier based on activity level
\( deficit \) — Calorie deficit for weight loss (kcal/day)

Explanation: The equation first calculates your basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest), then adjusts for activity level, and finally subtracts your desired deficit for weight loss.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie calculation is crucial for effective weight loss. Eating below your TDEE creates a deficit leading to weight loss, while maintaining the right deficit ensures you lose fat while preserving muscle.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, height in cm, and age in years. Select your activity level honestly. A typical deficit is 500 kcal/day for steady weight loss of about 0.5kg per week.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is this calculator specific to men?
A: Men and women have different BMR equations due to differences in body composition. This uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for men.

Q2: What's a safe calorie deficit?
A: 500-1000 kcal/day is generally safe, leading to 0.5-1kg weight loss per week. Very low calorie diets should be medically supervised.

Q3: How accurate is the activity factor?
A: It's an estimate. Wearable trackers can provide more precise activity measurements but these multipliers are good general guidelines.

Q4: Should I eat exactly these calories?
A: Use this as a starting point. Adjust based on your actual weight loss results over 2-4 weeks.

Q5: What if I'm not losing weight?
A: You may need to adjust your deficit, activity level, or ensure accurate tracking of food intake. Consult a professional if needed.
