3)
Calculate your BMR and multiply it by the activity factor to get the Calories burned per day. If you aren’t sure
about your weight/height, take your best guess. You can update the answer later if you get those
measurements.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Estimated Calories burned per day just living, doing absolutely nothing.
Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )
Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )
Activity factor: Estimated Calories burned per day based on activity.

Sedentary (little or no exercise) : BMR x 1.2

Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : BMR x 1.375

Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : BMR x 1.55

Very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : BMR x 1.725
