BMI Calculator -
Your first step is to use a body mass index (BMI) calculator. This
calculator will tell you if you are overweight. Based on your height and
weight you will fall into one of four categories; underweight, normal,
overweight or obese.
BMR Calculator
/ Weight Loss Calculator - This tool uses your gender, age, weight and
height to determine the amount of calories you burn while at total rest.
This is known as your basal metabolic rate and is the starting point
for calculating the calorie intake for weight loss. Some BMR calculators
are also a weight loss calculator. Meaning the calculator starts with
your BMR and then adds in the activity level and will then create a
recommended calorie intake for weight loss. The recommend calorie intake
is generally a 500 to 1,000 calorie deficit, depending on the
calculator.
Calorie Intake Calculator
- Once you know what your calorie intake for weight loss is, then you
need to build a meal plan and exercise plan to meet the calorie intake
needs. This is where a calorie intake calculator will come in handy.
This calculator will tell you how many calories are in the food item you
select. Many of these calorie calculators allow you to search through a
database with thousands of different food items.
Exercise Calorie Calculator
- There are a few ways to create a calorie deficit in order to lose
weight. You can reduce the amount of calories you consume, you can add
exercise to create the deficit or reduce calories by combing both eating
less and exercising more. This is where an exercise calorie calculator
is needed. If you plan to add exercise to your daily routine then you
need to know how many calories you burned during exercise.
Target Heart Rate Calculator
- This is another critical weight loss tool if you plan to add exercise
to your weight loss plan. You want to make sure that you are exercising
within your target heart rate zone. This calculator uses your age to
determine your maximum heart rate and will show you your heart rate zone
which is generally 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. You want to
make sure you exercise within in this heart rate zone.
