Discussion: Is it advisable to use calculators that estimate the recommended daily calorie intake?

Understanding the principles of proper nutrition is essential for patients with chronic digestive tract diseases.

Calculators online give an estimate of the recommended daily caloric intake. Calculators consider weight (except that there are usually gaps between the desired and existing weight), height, age, and gender. It is essential to know that the numerical result is no more than a "Rule of thumb" because not all calories are the same. Significant differences exist in whether the food is processed, industrialized, or natural. The hours we eat have additional meaning. At night, the calories are worth more! Think of a relatively small deviation of 5% and translate it into weight; you will see that the gaps are enormous over time. Therefore, I recommend eating only natural, unprocessed foods in the proper doses and only during the day.
