Hello
This job is to create a functioning calorie calculator and provide us with everything we need to embed it into our website. Upon entering all required data, the calculator MUST provide:
1) a maintenance level of calories/kj (eg 2540 cal / 10627kj); and
2) their GOAL calories (based upon the 'goal' field that they select.
The calorie calculator should be very similar to the one at this website: [login to view URL] at point "2. Basic Info".
i.e need data capture for:
- height
- weight
- age
- activity level: *see options below
- gender
- body fat percentage - if inserted - uses the Katch-McArdle Formula)
- waist - if inserted (calculates waist to height ratio)
However, unlike this calculator, we ALSO want a field that captures their GOAL calories: ie "Select Your Goal" which has multiple options including:
- build muscle without fat
- lose 0.5lb FAT week
- lose 1lb FAT per week
- lose 1.5 lb FAT per week
- lose 2lb FAT per week
For an example of a website with capture, see "Step 6: Select Your Goal" at [login to view URL]
You will need:
- to know how to arrange an excel document with all of the inputs to calculate the DAILY MAINTENANCE CALORIES and GOAL CALORIES;
- how to use the Harriss Benedict Formula and the Katch-McArdle Formula - see [login to view URL]
- *for activity levels use the following multipliers:
Sedentary: little or no exercise, x1.2
Lightly Active: light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week, x1.375
Moderately Active: moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week, x1.55
Very Active: hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week, x1.725
Extra Active: very hard exercise/sports and physical job, x1.9
- to calculate their goal calories, you simply use the following:
- build muscle without fat --> maintenance calories per day x 1.2
- lose 0.5lb FAT week --> maintenance calories per day - 250 cal
- lose 1lb FAT per week -- maintenance calories per day - 500 cal
- lose 1.5 lb FAT per week --> maintenance calories per day - 750
- lose 2lb FAT per week --> maintenance calories per day - 1000 cal
This job should be EASY if you are the right person for it.
If you have any questions, please ask us. We're happy to skype if you want to discuss it.
Happy bidding and many thanks
