- Adjusts calorie needs based on activity level:
- Sedentary
- Moderate
- Active
- Validates all user inputs
- Easy-to-use console interface
## Technologies Used
- Java
- Java `Scanner` for input

```
Calorie Calculator
Enter your gender (M/F): M
Enter your age (in years): 21
Enter your weight (in kilograms): 70
Enter your height (in centimeters): 175
Enter your activity level (sedentary/moderate/active): moderate
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is: 1723 calories per day.
