Percentage of Calories Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Percentage Of Calories (POC) is:

\[ POC = \frac{CMC}{TDC} \times 100 \]

Where:

\(POC\) is the Percentage Of Calories (%)
\(CMC\) is the current meal calories
\(TDC\) is the total daily calories

What is Percentage Of Calories?

Percentage Of Calories (POC) refers to the proportion of calories from a specific meal relative to the total daily calorie intake. This calculation helps in understanding how much of the daily calorie intake is consumed in a single meal, which can be useful for dietary planning and management.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Current Meal Calories (CMC) = 500
Total Daily Calories (TDC) = 2000

Using the formula to calculate the Percentage Of Calories (POC):

\[ POC = \frac{CMC}{TDC} \times 100 = \frac{500}{2000} \times 100 = 25\% \]

The Percentage Of Calories (POC) is 25%.
