Calculate Your Calorie Needs Using Basil Matabolic Rate (BMR)
BMR represents your most basic calorie needs or the amount you would require to sustain life if you simply laid in bed all day with no physical activity.
For men: BMR = 66 + (6.2w) + (12.7h) - (6.8a) x Activity Factor
For women: BMR = 655 + (4.4w) + (4.7h) - (4.7a) x Activity Factor
w = weight in pounds h = height in inches a = age in years
Activity Factors 1.200 = sedentary (little or no exercise) 1.375 = lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) 1.550 = moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)
Once you have your daily BMR, every 500 calories a day you add equals a 1 pound/week weight gain
