Your nutrition needs in the balantia app are calculated based on the info you enter, aiming to create a personalized nutrition plan that fits your goals.
Which data are taken into account?
The app uses details like:
age
gender
weight
height
Based on this, it calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), meaning the calories your body needs at rest to keep basic functions going.
How is your calorie target adjusted?
Depending on the goal you picked (weight loss, maintenance, or sports nutrition), balantia adjusts your daily calorie target.
At the same time, the calories you burn through physical activity, like:
workouts you log
daily steps
So, your energy balance calculation gets even more accurate.
What about macronutrients?
Besides total calories, the app also suggests a balanced distribution of macronutrients:
carbs
proteins
fat
This split is meant to cover your body's needs and support your progress toward your goal in a healthy and sustainable way.
Conclusion
Calculations in balantia are based on your personal data and dynamically adjust to your goal and activity, so you get a plan that fits your needs and can be maintained over time.
