- Select Diet Type: Choose the diet type (e.g., "Mixed (bamboo + supplements)"). This adjusts the base metabolic rate.
- Click "Calculate Calories": Press the button to compute the daily caloric intake.
- Read the Result: The result shows estimated kcal/day, with a brief explanation of the inputs and formula used.
