How to calculate your Daily Calorie Goal

Virgin Pulse calculates your Daily Calorie Goal based on your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), which is the number of calories your body will burn if you get no exercise.

 

Next, we factor in your 14-day average calorie burn, based on all the physical activity you do. (For new members, we estimate your activity until you have some in the system.) 

 

Then, we add or subtract the number of calories that correspond to your weight-change goal. The result is your Daily Calorie Goal!
