- Very active: Hard exercise 6-7 days per week
- Extra active: Very hard exercise and physical job
Calculate Your Results
After filling in the above information, the calculator will automatically compute the following results:
- BMI (Body Mass Index): Your BMI will be calculated using the formula weight / (height/100)^2. It helps assess your body weight relative to your height.
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): This will be calculated through a gender-specific formula, indicating the number of calories required to keep your body functioning while at rest.
- TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure): This is derived by multiplying your BMR by your activity level, indicating the total number of calories you need to maintain your current weight.
- Bulking Calories (Surplus): This is the extra calories you need to consume for bulking, calculated by adding 500 calories to your TDEE.
- Daily Protein Requirement: It is calculated by multiplying your weight by 2.2 to give the recommended grams of protein per day.
- Daily Carbohydrates Requirement: Calculated as 40% of your bulking calories divided by 4 (calories per gram of carbs), it gives the carbohydrate intake in grams.
- Daily Fats Requirement: Calculated as 30% of bulking calories divided by 9 (calories per gram of fat), this indicates your daily fat intake in grams.
Once all the above values are calculated, you will have a comprehensive dietary guide tailored to your body metrics and activity level to achieve your bulking goals.
