MB Calorie Calculator is a simple health software with an easy to use interface. The program is designed to calculate the daily calorie intake that your body requires. This is calculated on the basis of your height, weight, age, gender and daily activities.

Wanting to lose weight doesn’t mean that we stop eating totally. Our body requires calories to perform different functions. We get these calories through the different kinds of food we intake. This software uses the Harris-Benedict equation to determine the daily needed calorie intake. This equation calculates the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and then adjusts it according to the type of daily activity to give the right amount of calories needed.

The Harris-Benedict Equation is given below:

For Men:
Daily calories needed or BMR = 66 + (13.7 x W) + (5 x H) - (6.8 x Age)

For Women:
Daily calories needed or BMR = 665 + (9.6 x W) + (1.8 x H) - (4.7 x Age)

Where:

W = Weight
H = Height
Age = Years

Once the BMR is calculated we can then include the daily activities to make the calories needed more specific. This measure of calorie intake can be used as a guideline but a physician’s advice should also be taken before taking any extreme measure.

MB Calorie Calculator is a freeware and the best part is it can be administered within two to five minutes. All you have to do is enter the details required and the software does the rest for you.
