BMI & Calories Burned Report:

You are a 26 year old woman, 158 centimeters tall, with a current weight of 136 lbs.

You lead a sedentary lifestyle, and participate in the following exercise:

40 minutes of jog/walk combination


Your Body Mass IndexYour current Body Mass Index (BMI) is 24.7.

BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, and is often used as a general indicator of health. The "normal" BMI for an adult woman of your height is 18.5 to 24.9.

This translates to a healthy weight range of 102 to 137 lbs. However, BMI does not take body composition into account. A weight above this range could still be considered healthy if your percentage body fat is less than average. For more accurate determination of body fat levels, consider using a body fat caliper, such as the one made by Accu-Measure.

Your Calories BurnedHere is an estimate of your daily energy needs...

Calories Burned
Daily Energy Expenditure: 1913 kcal(8009 kJ)
Additional Calories from Exercise: + 275 kcal(1151 kJ)

Estimated Energy Requirement: 2188 kcal(9161 kJ)



Note: Accurate determination of the Calories you burn can only be accomplished by individual physiological testing. This calculation is merely an estimate that was derived from regression formulas and data provided by these sources: 2002, "Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids," Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine.Ainsworth B.E., 2002, January, "The Compendium of Physical Activities Tracking Guide," Prevention Research Center, Norman J. Arnold School of Public Health, Univ of SC.In the above table, the Daily Energy Expenditure includes Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), the energy consumed by daily activities, and the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). Additional Calories from Exercise also includes the effects of Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC).This estimate represents the total daily Calories needed to maintain your current body weight. To gain or lose weight, you may need to adjust your Calories upward or downward from this amount.
