Calorie Calculator: Daily Calorie Needs for Weight Goals
📸 Live preview — BMR and TDEE estimates.
Why Calculate Calories?
Calorie needs vary by age, gender, weight, height, and activity. Knowing your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) helps you achieve weight goals: eat at maintenance to stay the same, reduce 300–500 calories for weight loss, or add 300–500 for weight gain. Our calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, considered the most accurate for BMR. Multiply by activity factor to get TDEE.
📌 How to Use
- Enter age, weight (kg), height (cm).
- Select gender and activity level.
- Click "Calculate Calories".
- View BMR, maintenance, and suggested intake for loss/gain.

⚙️ How It Works
BMR for men: 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) - 5×age(y) + 5; women: 10×weight + 6.25×height - 5×age - 161. Then multiplied by activity factor. Loss = TDEE - 500, gain = TDEE + 500.
