Tell Puja what's going on and she will tell you honestly whether she can help.
How many calories do I need a day?
It depends on your age, height, weight and how active you are. This calculator:
- finds your energy at rest with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation
- then multiplies it by an activity factor, from 1.2 if you mostly sit to 1.725 if you are very active
Treat the answer as a starting point, because every body is a little different.
How this works
It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the most reliable of the common formulas: 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) − 5 × age, plus 5 for men or minus 161 for women. That's your energy at rest. It's then multiplied by an activity factor: 1.2 mostly sitting, 1.375 light, 1.55 moderate, 1.725 very active. Every body is a little different, so treat the answer as a starting point.
A number is a starting point, not a plan. On a free call, Puja looks at it with your reports and your routine.
