Questions
What equation does this use?
Mifflin–St Jeor. For men it is 10 times kilograms plus 6.25 times centimeters, minus 5 times age, plus 5. For women, the last term is minus 161. Activity then scales that result.
Is this a meal plan or medical advice?
No. It is an estimate of maintenance calories. It does not say what to eat, and it is not medical advice.
Why are there only two sex options?
The published Mifflin–St Jeor equation has a female form and a male form. Choose the form you want this estimate to use.
