For eg. 75 kg If you are a MALE SP = 75*24*1 = 1800 calories If you are a FEMALE SP = 75*24*0.90 = 1620 calories Step 2 – Calculate your BMR Estimate your body fat percentage Gender Percent Body Fat Multiplier Men 10 to 14% 1.0 Women 14 to 18% 1.0 Men 14 to 20% 0.95 Women 18 to 28% 0.95 Men 20 to 28% 0.9 Women 28 to 38% 0.9 Men 28% & above 0.85 Women 38% & above 0.85 So if you are a male who weighs around 75 kgs with Body Fat percentage of around 15 BMR = 1800(SP)*0.95 = 1710 calories If you are a female who weighs around 75 kgs with a Body fat percentage of around 20 BMR = 1620(SP)*.95 = 1539 calories Step 3 Factor in the activity level Sedentary 1.25 = Very Light: Sitting, studying, talking, little walking or other activities through out the day THE AVERAGE FITNESS BUFF RANGE: 1.3 = Light walking 1.5 = Walking, jogging, gardening type job with activities such as cycling, tennis, dancing, skiing or weight training 1-2 hours per day THE AVERAGE ATHLETE OR HARD DAILY TRAINING RANGE: 1.80 = Heavy: Heavy manual labor such as digging, tree felling, climbing, with activities such as football, soccer or body building 2-4 hours per day 2.00 = Very Heavy: A combination of moderate and heavy activity 8 or more hours per day, plus 2-4 hours of intense training per day So final maintenance calories for 75 kg male (15 % BF) = BMR * Activity level multiplier ; 1710 * 1.5 = 2565 calories 75 kg female (20 % BF) = BMR * Activity level multiplier ; 1620 * 1.5 = 2430 calories Macro-nutrient Breakdown 50 % carbohydrates , 25 % protein and 25 % fats . This is a good macro-nutrient breakdown. So a 2565 calories would have Carbohydrates (50 %) which means around 1282 calories should come from carbohydrates. 4 calories = 1 gm of carbohydrates ; So 1282 calories = Almost 320 grams of carbs Fats (25 %) which means around 641 calories should come from fats. 9 calories = 1 gm of fats ; So 641 calories = Almost 71 grams of fats. Protein (25 %) which means around 641 calories should come from carbohydrates. 4 calories = 1 gm of protein ; So 641 calories = Almost 160 grams of protein. Stay Fit & Awesome
