Enter the gross calorie burn (kcals) and the resting metabolic calories burned (kcal) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Net Calorie Burn. 

Net Calorie Burn Formula

NCB = GCB - RMR

Variables:

  • NCB is the Net Calorie Burn (kcal)
  • GCB is the gross calorie burn (kcals)
  • RMR is the resting metabolic calories burned (kcal)

To calculate the Net Calorie Burn, subtract the resting metabolic calories burned from the gross calorie burn.

How to Calculate Net Calorie Burn?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Net Calorie Burn.

  1. First, determine the gross calorie burn (kcals). 
  2. Next, determine the resting metabolic calories burned (kcal). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = NCB = GCB – RMR.
  4. Finally, calculate the Net Calorie Burn.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

gross calorie burn (kcals) = 2000

resting metabolic calories burned (kcal) = 1500
