Fat Intake Calculator

Fat Intake Calculator determines the daily fat intake (grams) for weight loss or gain, based on current weight, goal weight, time frame, activity level, and optional fat intake.

Methodology Used in Fat Intake Calculator

The calculator estimates daily fat intake for weight loss or gain using:

1. Weight change: \\( \Delta W = |\text{Current Weight} – \text{Goal Weight}| \\)

2. Total calories: \\( C_{\text{total}} = \Delta W \cdot 7700 \\)

3. Daily adjustment: \\( C_{\text{adjust}} = \frac{C_{\text{total}}}{\text{Weeks} \cdot 7} \\) (deficit if loss, surplus if gain)

4. BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor): \\( \text{BMR} = 10 \cdot \text{Weight} + 6.25 \cdot \text{Height} – 5 \cdot \text{Age} + 5 \\) (men) or \\( -161 \\) (women)

5. TDEE: \\( \text{TDEE} = \text{BMR} \cdot \text{Activity Multiplier} \\)

6. Total daily calories: \\( C_{\text{daily}} = \text{TDEE} \pm C_{\text{adjust}} \\) (minus for loss, plus for gain)

7. Fat intake: \\( F_{\text{daily}} = \frac{C_{\text{daily}} \cdot 0.3}{9} \\)

Where:

  • \\( \Delta W \\): Weight change (kg)
  • \\( C_{\text{total}} \\): Total calories for weight change (kcal)
  • \\( C_{\text{adjust}} \\): Daily surplus or deficit (kcal/day)
  • \\( \text{BMR} \\): Basal Metabolic Rate (kcal/day)
  • \\( \text{TDEE} \\): Total Daily Energy Expenditure (kcal/day)
  • \\( F_{\text{daily}} \\): Daily fat intake (g)

Assumes fat is 30% of calories, 9 kcal/g. Solves for the missing variable.

Example Calculation (Weight Loss)

Sample Input

Current Weight = 80 kg, Goal Weight = 75 kg, Weeks = 10, Activity Level = Moderate (1.55), Fat Intake = ?

Step 1: Weight loss: \\( \Delta W = 80 – 75 = 5 \, \text{kg} \\)

Step 2: Total calories: \\( C_{\text{total}} = 5 \cdot 7700 = 38500 \, \text{kcal} \\)

Step 3: Daily deficit: \\( C_{\text{deficit}} = \frac{38500}{10 \cdot 7} \approx 550 \, \text{kcal/day} \\)

Step 4: BMR (male, 30 years, 175 cm): \\( \text{BMR} = 10 \cdot 80 + 6.25 \cdot 175 – 5 \cdot 30 + 5 \approx 1750 \, \text{kcal/day} \\)

Step 5: TDEE: \\( \text{TDEE} = 1750 \cdot 1.55 \approx 2712.5 \, \text{kcal/day} \\)

Step 6: Daily calories: \\( C_{\text{daily}} = 2712.5 – 550 \approx 2162.5 \, \text{kcal/day} \\)

Step 7: Fat intake: \\( F_{\text{daily}} = \frac{2162.5 \cdot 0.3}{9} \approx 72.08 \, \text{g/day} \\)

Result: Daily Fat Intake = 72.08 g/day.
