This tool helps you calculate the number of calories you need based on your activity level and personal details.
Calorie Calculator
Use this calorie calculator to estimate the number of daily calories your body needs to maintain, lose, or gain weight based on your personal information, activity level, and fitness goals.
Instructions:
1. Enter your age, gender, height, and weight.
2. Choose your activity level from the dropdown menu. This ranges from sedentary to extra active.
3. Select your goal: maintain weight, lose weight, or gain weight.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to see your daily calorie needs.
How It Works:
The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs at rest. Based on your activity level, it adjusts this value to estimate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Depending on your goal, it then adds or subtracts calories to help you reach your target weight.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate, and actual needs may vary. Consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended for a more personalized plan. Changes in weight should be monitored, and caloric intake adjusted accordingly for best results.
