Overview
StepKcal is a step-based calorie calculator that replaces vague activity-level guesses with real step data. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to compute Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then adds calories burned from steps and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) to estimate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Users input age, gender, height, weight, desired weight, daily steps, and walking pace to generate a personalized report with calorie targets, macronutrient splits, and weekly weight projections.
Key Features
- Step-Based TDEE: Calculates maintenance calories from actual step count instead of generic activity levels.
- Personalized Calorie Targets: Offers multiple deficit paces (e.g., lose 0.5 kg/week or 0.7 kg/week) with corresponding daily calorie limits.
- Macronutrient Breakdown: Suggests protein, carbs, and fat grams for each calorie target based on a 30/40/30 split.
- Weekly Progress Table: Projects body weight week by week until goal weight is reached.
- Transparent Calculation: Shows BMR, step calories, NEAT, and TDEE in a detailed breakdown.
