About the Calorie Calculator

The Calorie Calculator helps you determine your daily calorie needs based on your fitness goals. Enter your body metrics and activity level to get personalized calorie recommendations for weight loss, maintenance, or gain. Use it for: - Planning daily calorie intake for weight management - Setting nutrition goals for fitness - Understanding calorie needs for your lifestyle - Achieving sustainable weight changes This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and multiplies by activity factor to get your TDEE. Based on your goal (lose weight, maintain, or gain weight), it adjusts your daily calorie target accordingly. For safe weight loss, aim for 1-2 lbs (0.5-1 kg) per week. For muscle gain, combine surplus calories with strength training.
