1. What is Daily Calorie Burn?

Daily Calorie Burn represents the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and calories burned through physical activity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( BMR \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (calories burned at rest)
• \( Activity \) — Additional calories burned through physical activity

Explanation: The calculation multiplies your BMR by an activity factor that corresponds to your daily activity level.

3. Importance of Calorie Burn Calculation

Details: Understanding your daily calorie burn is essential for weight management, creating effective diet plans, and setting appropriate fitness goals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your BMR in kcal/day and select your activity level. BMR must be a positive value calculated through appropriate methods.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I calculate my BMR?
A: BMR can be calculated using formulas like Mifflin-St Jeor or Harris-Benedict equations, which consider age, weight, height, and gender.

Q2: What do the activity levels mean?
A: Sedentary (little/no exercise), Light (light exercise 1-3 days/week), Moderate (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week), Active (hard exercise 6-7 days/week), Very Active (very hard exercise & physical job).

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: While based on established metabolic principles, individual variations exist. This provides an estimate that should be adjusted based on personal experience and results.

Q4: Should I eat exactly my daily calorie burn?
A: For weight maintenance, yes. For weight loss, create a calorie deficit. For weight gain, consume more calories than you burn.

Q5: How often should I recalculate my calorie burn?
A: Recalculate when your weight changes significantly, activity level changes, or every few months to account for metabolic adaptations.
