Calorie Calculator
Use this calorie calculator to estimate your daily energy needs. It calculates your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and your maintenance calories based on your age, sex, body measurements, and activity level.
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| BMR | Calories your body burns at rest |
| Maintenance calories | Estimated calories needed to keep your current weight |
| Weight loss target | Usually about 300-500 calories below maintenance |
| Weight gain target | Usually about 250-500 calories above maintenance |
Note: This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and multiplies it by your activity level to estimate daily calorie needs.
