The AMR (Active Metabolic Rate) Calculator helps estimate daily caloric needs based on weight, height, age, and activity level. This tool also includes an advanced calculator for adjusting caloric intake based on weight change goals.
Basic AMR Instructions:
- Enter the following:
- Weight (lbs): Current body weight.
- Height (in): Height in inches.
- Age (years): Current age.
- Activity Level: Choose a level (Light, Moderate, Heavy, Extra Heavy) based on daily activity.
- Results:
- Male AMR: Displays the estimated daily calories needed for men.
- Female AMR: Displays the estimated daily calories needed for women.
Advanced AMR Instructions:
- Enter the following:
- Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): Estimated calories burned daily.
- Desired Weight Change (lbs/week): Enter desired weight gain or loss.
- Results:
- Adjusted Caloric Intake: Displays recommended daily calorie adjustment for desired weight change.
