Enter your current daily calorie intake and the desired increase percentage into the calculator to determine your new daily calorie intake.
Calorie Increase Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the new daily calorie intake:
NC = CC * (1 + IP / 100)
Variables:
- NC is the new daily calorie intake
- CC is the current daily calorie intake
- IP is the desired increase percentage
To calculate the new daily calorie intake, multiply your current daily calorie intake by (1 plus the desired increase percentage divided by 100).
What is Calorie Increase?
Calorie increase refers to the process of adjusting your daily calorie intake to meet specific dietary goals, such as gaining weight or muscle mass. It is important to calculate the correct increase to ensure that you are consuming the right amount of calories for your needs.
How to Calculate New Daily Calorie Intake?
The following steps outline how to calculate the new daily calorie intake:
- First, determine your current daily calorie intake (CC).
- Next, determine the desired increase percentage (IP).
- Use the formula NC = CC * (1 + IP / 100) to calculate the new daily calorie intake (NC).
- Finally, use the calculator above to verify your result.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
current daily calorie intake (CC) = 2500 calories
desired increase percentage (IP) = 20%
