The calorie recommendation is based on the Harris-Benedict formula which gives the user a BMR (Basal metabolic rate) (see calculation below). Based on the BMR, activity level and goal we recommend the user a daily calorie intake amount.
The recommended pace of gaining and losing weight depends on the individual energy requirements. For weight loss and weight gain, we recommend a slow and steady pace that works over a longer period of time with a maximum of 1 kg / 2.2 lb per week.
The Meal Plans for weight loss suggests a daily intake of 1600 calories. If the individual energy requirement is above 2100 calories, we recommend adjusting the calorie intake according to the individual need in order to not suffer a large calorie deficit.
Each food is rated based on its distribution of macro - and micronutrients: carbohydrates, fat, protein, sugar, fiber, sodium, and its calorie density. Ratings are based on the nutritional value of 100 calories of the food item.
Based on nutrient density, caloric density, satiety index, glycemic index. This rating is based on the Classic diet.
Like the standard rating, except for that food rich in protein gets a higher rating. This rating is based on the High protein diet.
Based on the number of carbohydrates per 100 g. Foods rich in unsaturated fat and dietary fiber get a higher rating. These ratings are based on the Keto diet.
The meal rating is based on how the user has tracked a meal and how well it correlates with the given individual recommendations of calories and macronutrients.
The day rating is calculated based on how well all tracked meals meet the daily recommended calorie and macronutrient intake.
