'Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can
assure you mine are still greater..'
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

The calorie counters we give you here include the food calorie counter. It give the nutritional data of most foods. It is the most comprehensive resource in the net.

Use regularly to make your food plans as well as remind your self of calorie value of foods.

The second counter is the exercise calorie counter. This one approximates the amount of calories you burn with a particular exercise regime.

Third is the sedentary life counter. This will be able to define if your lifestyle is sedentary and how much you are in need of exercises.

The last counter is the BMI counter. This will determine your Body Mass Index (BMI). You will get to know whether you are obese, overweight, healthy weight or underweight.

Before we proceed lets first understand these measurements.

A calorie is a unit of energy. It is technically the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1o Centigrade or 1.8 o Fahrenheit. One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules. Joules is the more common measure of energy.

Normally the food labels show energy levels in calories. However the actual measurement is kilocalories. So when a food label reads 100 calories it means 100,000 calories.

It takes 3500 calories to form one pound of body fat. So in a week if your diet is in excess with 500 calories, in 7 weeks you will have added weight by one pound.

Food Calorie Counter: More often than not your diet has more energy than you need by a few hundred calories. So with time you are gaining weight steadily. You can get a general idea of how much calorie you get from foods that you eat by adding up the calories from foods you eat in a week. Use the counter below.

Exercise Calorie Counter: To lose a pound of fat you need to use at least 3500 calories. Note that these calories have to be supplied by the body fat and not by the food you eat. So using physical exercises to increase your calorie expenditure can create the caloric deficit required to naturally induce a caloric deficit. If for example you engage in an exercise every other day that introduces a calorie deficiency of 400 calories in a week you will have spent 1200 calories of body fat. In 3 weeks you should be able to shed a pound of fat.

For faster and more dramatic results combine a moderately calorie deficient diet with moderately intensive exercising.

Below is a counter to estimate how much calories you burn with a particular exercise.

Sedentary Life Determinant: You may not be sure whether having exercises in your life may add much to your weight loss. You may be thinking you are too tired by the time you get home for exercises. Use this counter to determine if your lifestyle has enough physical activities to keep you healthy and keep obesity at bay.

BMI Counter: Determine if you are technically considered obese overweight, healthy weight or under weight using this counter. The Body Mass Index is a number used to determine if you arte heavier than your body frame. It is a good indicator of if you have excess body fat.
