How It Calculates the Results
This calculator uses the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) formula to estimate the number of calories you need per day based on your weight, height, age, and gender. It then adjusts this number based on your activity level to provide a more accurate estimate of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). If your goal is to lose or gain weight, the calculator further adjusts the calories to help you achieve this.
Limitations
While this calculator provides a good estimate, it’s important to remember that it’s based on average values. Individual calorie needs can vary based on a variety of factors, including body composition, metabolism, and specific health conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider or nutritionist for personalized advice.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Daily Calorie Intake
Enter your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level to receive an estimate of your daily calorie needs based on the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. This will help you make informed decisions about your diet and fitness goals.
Track Caloric Deficit
Monitor your daily calorie intake and compare it against the recommended intake for weight maintenance. The calculator will show you the deficit you need to create to reach your desired weight loss goal.
Estimate Caloric Surplus for Muscle Gain
Input your details and select your desired muscle gain goal to find out how many extra calories you should consume per day. This will help you plan your meals and workouts effectively for optimal muscle growth.
Calculate BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)
Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate, which indicates the number of calories your body needs to function at rest. Knowing your BMR can aid in setting up a sustainable weight loss or weight gain plan.
Adjust Caloric Intake for Weight Loss
Use the calculator to find out how many calories you should eat to achieve a healthy rate of weight loss. You can manipulate your caloric intake to create a safe and manageable deficit for shedding pounds.

Compare Caloric Needs for Different Activities
Select various activity levels to see how your daily calorie requirements change based on your exercise routine. This allows you to tailor your nutrition plan based on your activity level and fitness objectives.
Estimate Maintenance Calories
Find out how many calories you need to consume to maintain your current weight by entering your details into the calculator. This knowledge is crucial for weight management and preventing unnecessary fluctuations.
Calculate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
Discover your Total Daily Energy Expenditure, which represents the total number of calories you burn in a day, including exercise. Knowing your TDEE can guide you in crafting a balanced diet that supports your fitness goals.
Adjust Caloric Intake for Bulking Phase
If you are aiming for a muscle-building phase, use the calculator to determine the surplus calories required for a successful bulk. This tool helps you optimize your nutrition plan for muscle gain while minimizing fat gain.
