Calculation formula
The Mifflin -San Geor formula is used to calculate the daily calorie requirement. First, the basic metabolism (initial calorie requirement) is calculated- Men - BMR [9.99 x weight (kg)] + [6.25 x height (cm)] - [4.92 x age (in years)] + 5
- Women - BMR [9.99 x weight (kg)] + [6.25 x height (cm)] - [4.92 x age (in years)] -161
- 1.2 - the minimum level of physical activity or its complete absence (sedentary work, lack of sports);
- 1.3-1.4 light activity level (light physical exercises about 3 times a week, daily morning exercises, hiking);
- 1.5-1.6 average activity (sports up to 5 times a week);
- 1.7-1.8 high-level activity (active lifestyle coupled with daily intensive workouts); 1.9-2.0 extremely high activity (sports lifestyle, hard physical labor, long hard workouts every day).
When losing weight or gaining weight
It is not recommended to drastically change the caloric content of the diet . In a week, the diet should be reduced by no more than 300-500 kcal / day. It is extremely allowed to reduce the diet by 20% of the optimal daily calorie content, or by 500 kcal.
It is not recommended to lose or gain more than 1kg per week. This is harmful to health and after a diet will lead to rapid weight gain.
It is recommended to regularly monitor the changes in weight and carry out a timely recalculation of the daily calorie content. If the weight changes by 5 kilograms or more, it is mandatory to revise the daily allowance.
