Show HN: Unit Calores – Calculate TDEE from First Principles

3 pointsby tennisprinceover 1 year ago
I mainly built this for the UI&#x2F;UX and the problem just happened to be something that interested me as someone who counts their calories. If your familiar with this area you&#x27;ll know about the debates and misnomars around these components and how they should be calculated.<p>Typical calorie counters can&#x27;t handle the combo of a desk job and a rigorous workout routine. Unit Calories calculates your TDEE from first principles, giving you an accurate daily calorie target tailored to your unique lifestyle and exercise routines.<p>If anyone is curious, the underlying calculation discounts active calories by 28%. I did this because of this research paper (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencedirect.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;article&#x2F;pii&#x2F;S0960982221011209" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sciencedirect.com&#x2F;science&#x2F;article&#x2F;pii&#x2F;S096098222...</a>) I found which concluded that extra calories burned get offset by a reduction in your bmr (basal metabloic rate).
