Minimum Calories Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the minimum calories per day is:

\[ \text{Calories per day} = BMR \times A - 1000 \]

Where:

Minimum Calories: Refers to the lowest amount of energy required by an individual to sustain basic bodily functions and carry out daily activities. It ensures the body receives adequate fuel for essential physiological processes and supports physical activity and overall health.

Let's say the basal metabolic rate (BMR) is 1500 calories and the activity factor (A) is 1.2. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Calories per day} = 1500 \times 1.2 - 1000 \]

We get:

\[ \text{Calories per day} = 1800 - 1000 = 800\, \text{calories} \]

So, the minimum calories per day is 800 calories.
