Due to multiple requests for a simplified version of the Nutrient Calculator, soon to be incorporated on this site will be a
kilojoule
/
calorie converter. Within just a couple of months it will be available for FREE as an online web based program for you to use. Also included will be a
Resting Metabolic Rate (
RMR)
calculator to determine your own food energy requirements - what good are food energy calculations when you don't know how many
calories or
kilojoules you actually need? The Metabolism Calculator (
RMR) or
Basal Metabolic Rate (
BMR) Computations will allow you to enter your activity levels, along with your age, weight and height, and then the program will automatically calculate your food energy intake requirements for that day. An enhanced version of the Metabolism (
Resting Metabolic Rate,
RMR or
BMR) Computer will include variables that will allow calculations of your minimum
Protein intake, and you can also enter the percentage of energy you would like to obtain in your diet from Fats. This will then tell you the amount of Carbohydrates, Fats and Protein you require in your diet to meet both your DAILY kj/cal requirements, and also your requirements PER MEAL.
