Sources of recommendations

Always seek the advice of your doctor if you have any questions about your health, or before undertaking any diet changes. The actual results of the diet may vary from person to person.

How calories are calculated

The calorie recommendation is based on the Harris-Benedict formula which gives the user a BMR (Basal metabolic rate) (see calculation below). Based on the BMR, activity level and goal we recommend the user a daily calorie intake amount.

• BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) + 5 (man)
• BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) – 161 (woman)
