  Kcal Calculator :
 
 

Calculate the energy needs of your body based on caloric intake and amount of exercise per day.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the energy measured in calories or Kcalories (1,000 calories), expended by the body at rest to maintain normal functions. This makes up about 70% of the calories the body uses. Your metabolic rate is influenced by quite a number of factors such as gender, age, weight, height, temperature, food, exercise and many other habits.

The figures shown are an approximation and should not be used as an accurate basis for fitness and dietry intake. For a more comprehensive assessment of how your current lifestyle is affecting your future health, visit a Lifestyle Pharmacy today for a Basic Health Screening.
