Food Calorie Calculator

A food calorie calculator, in combination with a food calorie counter, can determine the amount of calories you gain from the different food groups as well how much calories you burn from the various activities being undertaken. If you typically eat in popular fast food chains, the food calorie calculator will give you how much calories you gain per meal plus the activities you can do to burn it off and maintain a healthy body, especially if your goal of checking out the number of calories is your desire to manage your weight permanently.

Most food calorie calculators employ coefficients and factors to calculate how much calories are burned up per activity done. Coupled with the weight, gender, and age of the person, the amount of calories needed to be burned or gained to be able to properly and completely control your weight will be computed by the food calorie calculator.

Let us take for example a 29-year old mother of two. She would like to lose some weight she gained during childbirth and have joined a swimming class to shed off those extra pounds, aside from the chores she needs to take care of being a full-time mother. So using the food calorie calculator, you first enter her weight of 160 pounds, age of 29 years, and gender, female. Then the food calorie calculator asks to estimate how many hours a day do you typically do the following activities: sleeping, 5 hours; sitting, reading, watching TV, eating, 5 hours; light work like typing, cooking, sweeping, 10 hours; moderate work like carpentry, mowing grass, mopping the floor, 3 hours; heavy work such as shoveling, digging, roofing, 0 hour. Then you spend an hour a week doing laps in your neighborhood swimming pool. According to the computations of the food calorie calculator, you are presently burning about 2432 calories per day. To lose a pound, you need to burn at least 3500 calories. So you need to burn about 568 calories more to lose that pound. Isn’t that easy?
