Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs at rest. Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by your activity level. For weight loss, subtract 500 calories from your TDEE; for weight gain, add 500 calories.
Our free Calorie Calculator is designed to help you understand your daily energy needs based on your personal profile and goals. Whether you're looking to lose weight, maintain your current weight, or build muscle, understanding your calorie requirements is the first step towards achieving your health objectives.
The calculator uses the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - the number of calories your body needs at rest. This is then adjusted based on your activity level to determine your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).
Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is currently considered the most accurate for calculating BMR in most adults. However, individual variations may occur, so use this as a starting point and adjust based on your results.
We recommend recalculating every 4-6 weeks or after significant weight changes (±5kg) or changes in activity level.
Absolutely! For weight loss, select "Lose Weight" as your goal. The calculator will subtract 500 calories from your TDEE to create a safe deficit of about 0.5kg per week.
