1. What is BMI Calculator For Female Calorie Intake?

This calculator estimates daily calorie requirements for females based on BMI calculation, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), activity level, and pregnancy status. It provides personalized nutritional guidance for weight management.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ BMI = \frac{Weight\ (kg)}{Height\ (m)^2} \] \[ BMR = 10 \times Weight\ (kg) + 6.25 \times Height\ (cm) - 5 \times Age\ (years) - 161 \] \[ Daily\ Calories = BMR \times Activity + 300\ (for\ pregnancy) \]

Where:

\( BMI \) — Body Mass Index (kg/m²)
\( BMR \) — Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal/day)
\( Activity \) — Activity multiplier (1.2-1.9)
300 — Additional calories for pregnancy

Explanation: The calculation accounts for basic metabolic needs, physical activity level, and special requirements during pregnancy.

3. Importance of Calorie Intake Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie estimation is crucial for weight management, nutritional planning, and supporting overall health. Proper calorie intake helps maintain energy balance and supports metabolic functions.
