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
