 This is a very precise metabolic calculator. It calculates your resting metabolic rate and your total energy consumption in calories or kilojoules. The interface is easy to use, despite the rather complex calculations behind the calculator.
Instructions: Background The basal metabolic rate is calculated from the Schofield reference formulas used by WHO including age specific formulas for children. Energy cost of activities are based on various references and because children use relative more energy pr. kg body weight than adults, a dynamic correction is used for children depending on body weight. At the other end of the scale, obese people tend to have their activity dependent energy expenditure overestimated. Accordingly, a correction factor for body mass indexes over 30 is applied. In summary: this calculator is reliable for children as well as normal weight and obese adults. References
