How to Use the Eos Calculator
The Eos Calculator is a tool designed to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), as well as suggest a caloric intake for weight loss and weight gain. Follow the steps below to use the calculator efficiently.
Step 1: Input Your Personal Information
- Select Your Gender: Choose from the ‘Gender’ dropdown menu. Options available are ‘Male’ and ‘Female’. This selection is mandatory.
- Enter Your Age: Use the ‘Age (years)’ field to input your age. The acceptable range is between 15 and 80 years, with each entry needing to increase by steps of 1 year.
- Enter Your Weight: In the ‘Weight (kg)’ field, provide your current weight. You must enter a value between 30 and 300 kg, utilizing steps of 0.1 kg.
- Enter Your Height: Enter your height in the ‘Height (cm)’ input field. The allowed range is from 130 to 230 cm, moving in steps of 1 cm.
-
Select Your Activity Level: Choose the option that best describes your level of activity from the ‘Activity Level’ dropdown menu. Options include:
- Sedentary (little or no exercise)
- Lightly active (light exercise 1-3 days/week)
- Moderately active (moderate exercise 3-5 days/week)
- Very active (hard exercise 6-7 days/week)
- Extra active (very hard exercise & physical job)
Step 2: Receive Your Calculated Results
Once you have entered your information, the Eos Calculator will compute the following:
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): This value indicates the number of calories your body requires at rest. The BMR is calculated using your weight, height, age, and gender.
- Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): This reflects the total number of calories you burn in a day, adjusted for your activity level. It is derived by multiplying your BMR by your selected activity level.
- Caloric Intake for Weight Loss: For a caloric deficit aimed at weight loss, this value is your TDEE minus 500 calories.
- Caloric Intake for Weight Gain: For those looking to gain weight, this parameter suggests an intake of your TDEE plus 500 calories.
Conclusion
The Eos Calculator offers a concise glimpse into your caloric needs based on personal factors and activity levels. Ensure that all inputs are accurate to get the best insights from this tool.
