1. Calculating Your Caloric Needs
Example
Female
130 X 10 = 1300 RMR Calories
Activity Level
0.50 X 1300 = 650 Activity Cal.
Digestion Calories
= 1950 X 0.1= 195
Total Calories 1300
650
195
Total Calories = 2145
1. Calculating RMR Calories
Female body weight x 10 = RMR calories
Male body weight x 11 = RMR calories
2. Calculating Activity Levels
Activity level % RMR X by
inactive
average
very active
3. Calculating Calories (Digest Food)
RMR calories + Activity Calories (.1)
= Digestion calories
4. Total Calories Needed = Step
