Methods and Formulas for Calculating Diet Calories
Maura is a 35-year-old girl 168 cm tall and 53 kg; she works as a secretary in a sporting goods company. His great passion is cycling, with which he travels 20 km on average three times a week.CALCULATION OF CALORIES:
- IMMEDIATE METHOD:
Since Maura does three workouts per week we use the formula for moderately active people
CALCULATION CALORIES = weight (kg) x 38 = 53 x 38 = 2014 Kcal
- ACCURATE METHOD:
BASAL METABOLISM (MB) I look at the corresponding table and find that the basal metabolic rate is:
MB = 8,7 x 53 + 829 = 1290 Kcal
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROFILE: I look at the corresponding table and find that Maura's (employee) work activity is light
DESIRABLE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY? YES! as Maura loves cycling and trains for about an hour three times a week
I refer to the LAF table (physical activity level) and:
CALCULATION CALORIES = MB x LAF = 1290 x 1,56 = 2012 Kcal
