References: `*` The Mediterranean Diet Lifestyle Calculator is designed by Culinary Art Professor and Executive Chef Giuseppe Urbano, and it is property of www.MealsForLongevity.com It is based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which calculates basal metabolic rate (BMR), and its results are based on an estimated average. The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy expended per day at rest. For men: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (y) + 5 For women: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (y) - 161. Note: Accurate determination of the calories you burn can only be accomplished by individual physiological testing. The BMI calculation is based on the following Lemmans Formula: weight (lb) / height (in) 2 x 703. For adults 20 years old and older, BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories. These categories are the same for men and women of all body types and ages. The standard weight status categories associated with BMI ranges for adults are BMI Weight Status, Below 18.5, Underweight, 18.5 – 24.9 Healthy Weight, 25.0 – 29.9 Overweight, 30.0, and Above Obesity.
