How avokadio works? – Avokadio

How avokadio works?

Avokadio is a life style and diet app that provides recommendation and guidance to the users for healthy eating, weight loss and exercise optimisation. Avokadio encourages the users to understand nutrition, exercise and eating habits for a healthy life and guides them. Avokadio does not intend to give any medical advice nor it is a medical device or app. We strictly advice users to consult with a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice and treatment before making any medical decisions.

Calorie recommendations and calculations: 

The calorie recommendation is based on the Harris-Benedict formula which gives the user a BMR (Basal metabolic rate) (see calculation below). Based on the BMR, activity level and goal we recommend the user a daily calorie intake amount.

BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) + 5 (man)

BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age(y) – 161 (woman) 

The recommended pace of gaining and losing weight depends on the individual energy requirements. For weight loss and weight gain, we recommend a slow and steady pace that works over a longer period of time with a maximum of 1 kg / 2.2 lb per week.
