Seasonal Weight Gain Predictor

Understanding Seasonal Weight Fluctuations

Seasonal weight gain affects millions worldwide, with studies showing average gains of 1–3 kg during holiday periods. Our Seasonal Weight Gain Predictor helps you:

  • Estimate potential weight changes

  • Identify personal risk factors

  • Create preventive strategies

Key Terms Explained

1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

The calories your body needs at rest to maintain vital functions. Calculated using:
BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) + adjustment factor

2. Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)

Your total calorie burn including physical activity:
TDEE = BMR × Activity Multiplier

3. Calorie Surplus

Extra calories consumed beyond your TDEE. 3,500 calories = 0.45 kg weight gain
