Total Burn Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Daily Calorie Burned calculation estimates your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) by combining your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) with calories burned through physical activity. This helps determine how many calories your body burns in a day.
The calculator uses the Total Burn formula:
Where:
Explanation: BMR represents the energy your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions, while activity calories account for movement and exercise throughout the day.
Details: Knowing your total daily calorie burn is essential for weight management, creating effective diet plans, setting fitness goals, and understanding your body's energy requirements.
Tips: Enter your BMR in kcal/day and activity calories in kcal. BMR can be calculated using various formulas (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin-St Jeor) based on age, gender, height, and weight.
Q1: What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
A: BMR is calories burned at complete rest, while TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes all activities and represents total calories burned in a day.
Q2: How can I calculate my BMR?
A: BMR can be calculated using formulas like Harris-Benedict or Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which consider age, gender, height, and weight.
Q3: What affects daily calorie burn?
A: Factors include age, gender, weight, height, muscle mass, activity level, genetics, and overall health status.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate, but individual variations exist. For precise measurements, metabolic testing may be necessary.
Q5: Should I use this for weight loss planning?
A: Yes, knowing your total burn helps create appropriate calorie deficits for safe and effective weight loss.
