Pounds Per Calorie Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Pounds Per Calorie (PPC) is:

\[ PPC = \frac{TP}{TC} \]

Where:

\(PPC\) is the Pounds Per Calorie (lbs/cal)
\(TP\) is the total weight in pounds (lbs)
\(TC\) is the total calories

What is Pounds Per Calorie?

Pounds Per Calorie (PPC) is a measure of the weight in pounds that corresponds to a certain number of calories. It helps in understanding the relationship between weight and caloric intake or expenditure.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Weight (TP) = 150 lbs
Total Calories (TC) = 2000

Using the formula to calculate Pounds Per Calorie:

\[ PPC = \frac{150}{2000} = 0.075 \text{ lbs/cal} \]

The Pounds Per Calorie (PPC) is 0.075 lbs/cal.
