NIH Releases Calorie Calculator To Public.

reports that the National Institutes of Health calculator called the “Body Weight Planner” is now available to the public online. The calculator “uses the latest research to spit out an exact calorie count and exercise regimen you’ll need to hit your weight loss goals.” In a press release, Kevin Hall, senior investigator at the NIH and one of the creators of the tool, said, “We originally intended the Body Weight Planner as a research tool, but so many people wanted to use it for their own weight management that we knew we needed to adapt it with more information about how to achieve a healthy lifestyle,” http://time.com/3964686/calories-calorie-tracker-weight-loss/
