The tools on this page are designed to be used in order and can give the user a good idea of:

1 - How many calories are burnt when running,

2 - What their body composition is (Body Mass Index - BMI),

3 - What their current body fat % is,

4 - How many calories should be consumed each day in order to maintain, lose or gain weight,

5 - The ability to convert Calories to Kilojoules and vice-versa so those that prefer one method or another can easily convert.

To gain the most benefit from these tools, users should visit this page regularly and record their results.

And as with any generic tools, those on this page should be used as a guide only and professional medical advice sought to determine exact medical and nutritional needs as individuals can vary greatly.

No responsibility is taken nor implied as to the accuracy of the tools on this page. 		Tools & Calculators:


Calorie Burner

Calorie Burner - running specific:
Your weight (kg) Distance run (km) Calories burned
Comments
*Note - The calculator above assumes a training run at reasonable intensity (say 75% effort).
For harder running (highly aerobic or anaerobic) add up to 15%, and
For easy running subtract up to 15%.
Females (unfortunately) need to subtract 10 - 15%.

Body Composition

Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator:
Your Weight: Your Height:
or cms
SI Units:
US Units:
UK Units:
Comments:
*Note - Whilst BMI can be a useful tool for the 'normal' person, it can prove inaccurate for people with extremely
large amounts of muscle and low body-fat (eg body builders). For more details on BMI visit:
The wiki page: Body Mass Index, or
Better Health (Victorian State Goverment): Better Health.

Calorie Needs

Daily calorie needs calculator:
Enter the following data:
Your gender
Your height
Your weight
Your age years
Your activity
Automatic recalculation   
Here are your results:
Basal Metabolic Rate
A. Requirements to maintain current weight
Calories cal
Carbohydrates (55%) cal = gm
Proteins (15%) cal = gm
Fats (30%) cal = gm
B. Requirements to lose weight by  per week *
Calories cal
Carbohydrates (55%) cal = gm
Proteins (15%) cal = gm
Fats (30%) cal = gm
C. Requirements to gain weight by  per week *
Calories cal
Carbohydrates (55%) cal = gm
Proteins (15%) cal = gm
Fats (30%) cal = gm
* To lose weight, 500 calories are subtracted per day for each 450g you want to lose every week (3500 calories per week deficit).
* To gain weight, 500 calories are added per day for each 450g you want to gain every week (3500 calories per week surplus)
* For a balanced approach to weight loss, consider increasing your activity by:
- - Decreasing calorie intake by (say) 250 calories per day and then exercise to expend (use up) the other 250 calories.
- - Use the Calorie Burner tab to work out how many km you need to run to achieve this.
- - An increased exercise approach prevents a decrease in your metabolic rate and promotes increased lean muscle mass.
