Understanding Weight Gain Calculator Results

The weight gain calculator provides personalized recommendations based on scientific formulas and research-backed methodologies. Here's what the results mean:

Maintenance Calories

This is the number of calories your body needs to maintain its current weight. It's calculated using your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) and activity level.

Target Calories

This represents your daily caloric needs plus a calculated surplus to support healthy weight gain. The surplus is based on your chosen pace: 10% for steady gains, 15% for moderate progression, or 20% for aggressive gains.

Tips for Healthy Weight Gain

  • Eat frequently throughout the day
  • Include protein with each meal
