Calorie Counter for Weight Loss

Obesity in kids has reached epidemic levels. Experts estimate that 15% of kids are overweight and another 15% are at risk of becoming overweight. And two thirds of these overweight kids will become overweight adults. Although a lack of physical activity and poor eating habits are a big part of this rise in obesity, another big problem is that many children are simply getting too many calories, which are then turned into extra fat. Our Calorie Calculator will help you determine how many calories that you and your kids need each day. Although you usually shouldn't have to count calories each and every day, it can be helpful to track how many calories your child is getting from the things that he eats and drinks over a few days or weeks and then compare it to the estimates provided by our Calorie Calculator. This is especially important if your child is already overweight. If you find that your child's intake of calories is much below or above the Calorie Calculator results, you should likely talk to your Pediatrician and/or a Registered Dietician to get some help planning a more healthy diet for your child.
