know-how

To get started with our weight gain calculator, few people may have questions about “Activity” section of the tool but don’t worry – this is how it works:

No Activity – if you are not active, you should check this radio button.

Less Activity – if you exercise sometimes (once or twice a week), check this radio button.

Moderate Activity – if you exercise often and are active, check this radio button.

Good Activity – if you exercise daily and are active, check this radio button.

Activity levels in our weight gain calculator are important because they make the required calories differ from person to person. For instance, if you are active and you are eating more calories, you may still not be able to gain weight that easily.

Another thing to keep in mind is that calories generated based on data for you are just a baseline. It means that generated calories will assist you in starting out with your diet plan and as you progress, you may change those calories accordingly, based on how you feel and experience, for better results.
