Accuracy Note: If a decimal height slider is misread—for example, treating 5.5 feet as 5 feet 5 inches instead of 5 feet 6 inches—the resulting 1-inch discrepancy shifts daily estimates by ~19–27 kcal across typical activity levels. KatoriCalorie uses centimeters (cm) directly in the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to avoid height conversion ambiguity. BMR and TDEE remain estimates, but direct metric inputs keep the baseline consistent. Learn why height precision matters →
Traditional Assamese meals start with Omita Khar, a preparation that extracts potassium-rich minerals from the ash of banana skins. This unique alkaline profile assists in lubricating the stomach walls and neutralizes acidic discomfort, making it a highly effective prebiotic helper prior to consuming heavier staples.
Authentic Assamese Masor Tenga relies on native local pond, lake, or river fish cooked with traditional cross-cut drying of garcinia pedunculata (thekera tenga), acidic tomatoes, elephant apple (outenga), or fresh lemon juice. This light broth provides rich omega-3 fatty acids without any heavy cream or commercial fats.
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the energy expended to support essential life processes while at rest. By utilizing the Mifflin-St Jeor formula—widely validated as the most accurate metabolic predictor for active populations—KatoriCalorie gives you a verified baseline. Multiplying this value by your daily activity quotient calculates your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), establishing a reliable mathematical target for healthy portion adjustment.
