How the Daily Calorie Calculator Works

Your daily calories are your BMR multiplied by an activity factor, from 1.2 for a desk job with little exercise up to 1.9 for heavy physical work.

Eating about 500 kcal a day less than this number leads to roughly 0.5 kg of weight loss a week for most people.
