I need help calculating how many calories I naturally burn in a day?!
Question: I need help calculating how many calories I naturally burn in a day?
Here's what I have so far:
~I'm a below the knee amputee, and my doctors say I use 30% more energy than someone who has both legs.
~And my BMR is 1703 cal.
So how many calories am I really burning a day? Am I burning more than 1703 cal?
Can someone please help me? Thanks:)

If your BMR is 1703 and was calculated just by entering numbers in a formula based upon your height and weight and age and gender, then it does not take into account the extra calories you would burn because of being an amputee. So if you burn 30% more than that, you would burn an extra 510 calories, which would be a total of 2213. Of course if you work out, or do other additional exercise other than the normal activities of daily life, you would burn more.
