Pounds Per Calorie Calculator

This calculator helps estimate how many calories you need to consume daily to lose one pound of body weight. It calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) and compares it with your daily calorie intake.

Calculation Formula

TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor

Where:
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (years) + 5 (if male) - 161 (if female)
Activity Factor: Represents your daily activity level

Results

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): 0 kcal/day

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): 0 kcal/day

Daily Calorie Intake: 0 kcal/day

Pounds Per Calorie: 0 pounds per 3500 kcal

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your age in years.
  2. Select your gender (male or female).
  3. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg).
  4. Enter your height in centimeters (cm).
  5. Select your activity level from the dropdown menu (sedentary to extra active).
  6. Enter your daily calorie intake in kilocalories (kcal).
  7. Click the "Calculate" button to get the results.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides the following results:

  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The number of calories your body needs at rest to maintain basic physiological functions.
  • Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): The total number of calories your body needs daily based on your activity level.
  • Daily Calorie Intake: The number of calories you consume daily.
  • Pounds Per Calorie: This indicates how many pounds of body weight you are likely to lose per 3500 calories deficit from your TDEE. A higher value means you need to create a larger calorie deficit to lose weight.

Important Notes
