Enter your age, weight, height, gender, and activity level into the calculator to determine your Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of calories.
RDI Calories Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the RDI of calories:
RDI = BMR * Activity Factor
Variables:
- BMR is the Basal Metabolic Rate calculated based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation.
- Activity Factor is the multiplier based on the level of daily activity.
To calculate the RDI of calories, first calculate the BMR using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, then multiply by the activity factor corresponding to your daily activity level.
What is RDI of Calories?
The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of calories is the amount of energy intake that is considered sufficient to maintain body weight in a healthy individual based on their age, weight, height, gender, and level of physical activity. It is used as a guideline for planning diets and ensuring adequate energy intake.
How to Calculate RDI of Calories?
The following steps outline how to calculate the RDI of Calories:
- First, determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation.
- Next, select your level of daily activity to determine the Activity Factor.
- Finally, multiply your BMR by the Activity Factor to calculate your RDI of calories.
- Use the calculator above to check your answer.
