Calorie Calculator

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs at rest.

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by your activity level.

Weight Management:

• Weight Loss: 500 calorie deficit = ~1 lb (0.5kg) loss per week
• Weight Gain: 500 calorie surplus = ~1 lb (0.5kg) gain per week
• Maintenance: Calories in = Calories out

Activity Levels:

• Sedentary: Little or no exercise
• Light: Exercise 1-3 days/week
• Moderate: Exercise 3-5 days/week
• Active: Exercise 6-7 days/week
• Very Active: Physical job + daily exercise

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, considered more accurate than older formulas. Individual results may vary based on genetics, metabolism, and other factors.
