Estimate your daily calorie needs

This calorie calculator estimates maintenance calories using the Mifflin-St Jeor BMR equation and an activity multiplier. The result is an estimate of how many calories you burn per day.

TDEE = BMR x activity multiplier

Where:
BMR=
Basal metabolic rate from body size, age, and sex
activity multiplier=
A factor representing daily movement and exercise

How to use the result

Maintenance calories estimate the intake needed to keep weight stable. A moderate weight-loss target is often about 500 calories below maintenance. A conservative weight-gain target is often about 300 calories above maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

No calorie calculator is exact. It provides a strong starting estimate, but real calorie needs vary with metabolism, training, sleep, health status, and tracking accuracy.

It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor BMR equation multiplied by an activity factor to estimate total daily energy expenditure.
