CALORIE RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
- BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) + 5 (man)
- BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) – 161 (woman)
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 with a maximum of 1 kg / 2.2 lb per week.

CALORIE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MEAL PLANS
Bob AI’s meal plans give you an approximation of daily calorie intake. If your calorie requirement is higher or lower than the provided plan, you need to add or remove more suitable foods to ensure you eat according to your individual needs. The plans do not cater to specific allergies or food preferences. Changing your diet can have significant impacts on your health, so always consult your doctor before you change, start, or stop any part of your healthcare plan.
