Calorie Calculator
Calculate your daily calorie needs based on your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level
About Calorie Calculation
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered one of the most accurate formulas for calculating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions while at rest. Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is calculated by multiplying your BMR by an activity factor.
Note: This calculator provides estimates and should not replace professional medical advice. Consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized recommendations.
Activity Level Explained
Sedentary: Office job with little to no exercise
Lightly active: Light exercise 1-3 days per week
Moderately active: Moderate exercise 3-5 days per week
Active: Hard exercise 6-7 days per week
Very active: Physical job or training twice a day
Weight Management Tips
• Sustainable approach: Aim for gradual weight changes (0.5-1 kg per week)
• Balanced diet: Include proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables
• Regular exercise: Combine cardio and strength training for optimal results
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day
• Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night
• Consistency: Track your calories and maintain consistency for best results
Calorie Formulas
Mifflin-St Jeor Equation (BMR):
Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) + 5
Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age) - 161
TDEE = BMR × Activity Factor
