Calorie recommendations

The calorie recommendation is based on the Mifflin-St. Jeor equation which gives the user a BMR (Basal metabolic rate) (see calculation below). Based on the BMR, activity level and goal we recommend the user a daily calorie intake amount.

• Females: (10 x weight in kg) + (6,25 x height in cm) – (5,0 x age in years) – 161

• Males: (10 x weight in kg) + (6,25 x height in cm) – (5,0 x age in years) + 5
