Daily Calorie Calculator
The calorie calculator estimates your daily energy needs using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and adjusts for your activity level to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
Use this to plan your diet for weight maintenance, loss or gain.
Understanding Your Calorie Needs
BMR is the energy your body needs at complete rest. TDEE adds your activity level to determine total daily calorie needs. Eating below TDEE leads to weight loss, above leads to weight gain.
Activity Level Multipliers
Sedentary: BMR x 1.2. Lightly active: BMR x 1.375. Moderately active: BMR x 1.55. Very active: BMR x 1.725. Extra active: BMR x 1.9.
