FAQ
- How are calorie needs calculated?
- We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then multiply by your activity level to get Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
- Which activity levels are available?
- Sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, very active, and extremely active — choose the one that best matches your lifestyle.
- Can this help with weight loss?
- To lose weight, aim for a calorie intake ~500 below your TDEE. To gain, aim ~500 above. Always consult a dietitian for personalized advice.
