This is a very precise metabolic calculator. It calculates your resting metabolic rate and your total energy consumption in calories or kilojoules. This can be a helpful tool for weight loss as it allows you to estimate the amount of calories that represents your energy balance. If you eat less than this, you will lose weight.
Instructions:
Calculate_daily_energy_expenditure.pdf
Background The basal metabolic rate is calculated from the Schofield reference formulas used by WHO including age specific formulas for children. Energy cost of activities are based on various references and because children use relative more energy pr. kg body weight than adults, a dynamic correction is used for children depending on body weight. At the other end of the scale, obese people tend to have their activity dependent energy expenditure overestimated. Accordingly, a correction factor for body mass indexes over 30 is applied. In summary: this calculator is reliable for children as well as normal weight and obese adults. References

No way. I'm a 20 year old female at 102 lbs and 5'2", with 3 hours light exercise, 5 hours standing/walking, 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours sitting. It says my energy expenditure is 2,225. On average, I eat between 1200 and 1600 calories a day. According to this, I should be losing weight rapidly, but I've been maintaining. |

Carbohydrate-rich foods stop you from loosing fat and weight. Max 20-50gr. carbs, 1,5-2gr. protein pr. kg body and the rest fats (animal etc.) Avoid the cheap oils like sunflower etc. except Olive-oil. Nuts is good. Meats of all kind, vegetables of all kinds (over ground is best) and check you get enough magnesium and potassium. Keep at it, check you body-feel an waist. Thats it. |

Total kCal seems high- by at least 20%. using zero for exercise values, i get all my activity- 9 hrs- standing and walking, and it displays 3,060 kcal. My BMR is 1,750 kcal. i eat minimum 1,800/ day and usually close to 2,000. I DO NOT have a 1,000 kcal deficit- but maybe 500 as i have been losing 1 lb/week as was planned. Any thoughts? thanx, Eff |

Says my BMR = 2850 Says my TEE = 4470 So how many calories should I be eating to lose 2 pounds a week? Before starting my diet I was eating at least 3,500 calories a day, some days up to 5,000 and my weight remained the same for 3 years. (and I was eating the worst things - ie pizza, wings, beer, 4 cokes a day, candy or cake/pie etc twice a day, bacon cheese burgers, frys, chips etc etc) Currently I've been tracking my calories for 30 days, every single thing I've eaten, and over a 30 period my daily avarage intake was 2,300 calories. In that 30 day time frame I lost ZERO weight. I have slightly increased the amount of activities I do day to day, (trying to walk or lift weights 10 minutes a day) and have been making sure I'm eating more healthful things. (high fiber, high protein, low salt, low fat) I need help... Thoughts? Answers? Male - Age 38 - 5'11 - 375lbs |

One of the reasons of not losing weight, even if you do create a calorie deficit is water retention. This is especially true for women. So, if you have calculated your total energy expenditure and have created a calorie deficit, but the scale is stuck, it doesnโt necessarily mean that your calculation was wrong. It is entirely possible, to not lose any weight for a week or two and then lose a lot of weight the third week. Kate at www.dietmythsandfacts.com/ |

What you are saying makes sense isle but is this expenditure actually correct? Because on days that I don't work out it says im buring around 2500 calories, and days that I do go about 3,000. I eat about the same amount every day aside from my occasional weekend cheat days and my average daily intake is around 1500-1700. My BMR is 1500. I haven't lost weight since my first 10 pounds about 5 months ago... I dont know what I'm doing wrong! Am I in starvation mode as well or something? |

@stephanie: What does the calculator say is your Basal Metabolic Rate? The key is to NEVER eat fewer calories than that, otherwise your body goes into starvation mode and will refuse to lose weight (it thinks that every calorie you eat might be the last calorie it gets and it will store EVERYTHING). This happened to me earlier this year -- my BMR is close to 1400, and I was eating around 1250 and exercising. I lost some weight but then stopped. As soon as I started eating more, the weight started coming off again! Look for a deficit (total expenditure minus intake) of 500-700 calories a day for a loss of 1-1.5 pounds a week. So if you are actually burning 2800, then eat about 2100. I would go up gradually at first so eat 1600 a day the first week, 1800 a day the second week, etc. Warning: because you have been eating so little, your body may initially gain a little, but keep at it and don't give up...the gain will stop and you will start losing again once your body gets the idea that you aren't starving it anymore. |

This says that my expenditure is 2800. Does this mean I should be eating less than that in calories? I have been on a "diet" since the beginning of the year and have only lost 10 pounds. I have been sitting steady at the same weight for the past 3 months. I eat a 1200 cal diet, mostly lean meats and fruits and veggies. I occasionaly have my cheat days. I exercise at least 5 times a week. Running on the treadmill or eleptical and weights, sometimes I even throw in an exercise video or bike ride with my son. What am I doing wrong? Should I be eating more? HELP! |

This calculator is pretty accurate for me. I am a male, 145 pounds, and it says I expend 3000-3500 calories a day, which is pretty accurate. I workout hardcore daily, and I am active throughout the day, too. I have no clue how people are eating in the 1000's and not losing weight unless they sit on their butts all day, which I can't. |

There are some products that can assist in weight loss but no product is the "magic bullet". Though this product is a nice tool, there is nothing new under the sun. Weight loss has always been the second law of thermodynamics; eat less, exercise more, or both. Get a legitimate exercise program, (i.e. circuit training) and a solid nutrition plan, stick with it, and weight loss will happen. turbulencetraining4u.com |

Excuse my question but...should I be eating less than the difference? Or simply less than the total expenditure? I suggest that those focused on the balance start measuring those their waist-thigh-arm-butt and see what they see. Sometimes the balance doesn't show your progress. If you are eating enough cals but are still not loosing, the best way to go about it is to get a little bit heavier weights to lifts, try to run sprints a little longer...Nothing will change if you don't change your habits! |

The Energy Expenditure calculator does not seem to be correct. If I had all these kcal I would be really fat. There are other similar ways to calculate kcal on the net that correspond a lot better to my expenditure. I am just fit and have no over or underweight. Can you please adjust it better because it would be useful for my clients. |
