How to Use the Female Standards Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Personal Information

Begin by providing the calculator with your personal details. These will be essential for providing accurate calculations tailored to your needs.

  • Age (years): Enter your age in years. This field is required, and you must be between 18 and 100 years old.
  • Height (cm): Input your height in centimeters. This field is also required, and the acceptable range is between 140 cm and 200 cm.
  • Weight (kg): Provide your weight in kilograms. This field is required and should be between 35 kg and 200 kg.

Step 2: Select Your Activity Level

Choose the option that best describes your typical daily activity level from the selection provided. This helps in calculating your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

  • Sedentary: Little or no exercise (activity factor 1.2).
  • Lightly active: Light exercise 1-3 days/week (activity factor 1.375).
  • Moderately active: Moderate exercise 3-5 days/week (activity factor 1.55).
  • Very active: Intense exercise 6-7 days/week (activity factor 1.725).
  • Extra active: Very intense exercise or sports (activity factor 1.9).

Step 3: Review the Calculated Results

After entering your personal details and selecting your activity level, the calculator will provide the following results:

  • BMI (Body Mass Index): This is calculated using your weight and height. The formula used is weight divided by the square of your height in meters, and it is represented with one decimal point.
  • Ideal Weight: Your ideal weight based on a BMI of 21.7, a standard considered healthy for most individuals.
  • BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): Indicates the number of calories you need per day at rest. Calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation specific for females: 655.1 + (9.563 * weight) + (1.850 * height) – (4.676 * age).
  • TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure): Your BMR multiplied by your activity level factor to determine the total calories you need daily to maintain your current weight.
  • Weight Loss Calories Target: Reduces your TDEE by 500 calories to suggest a target for weight loss.
  • Weight Gain Calories Target: Increases your TDEE by 500 calories to suggest a target for weight gain.
  • Healthy Body Fat Range: Provides a guideline of the healthy body fat percentage range (21-32%) for women.
  • Daily Protein Need: The amount of protein you should consume daily, calculated as weight multiplied by 1.6 grams.
