💡 Calorie Calculation Tips

  • BMR: Calories your body needs at complete rest
  • TDEE: Total calories needed including activity
  • Weight Loss: Consume 20% fewer calories than TDEE
  • Weight Gain: Consume 10% more calories than TDEE
  • Protein: Aim for 0.8-1.2g per kg of body weight

About This Calculator

Estimate daily calorie needs for maintenance, fat loss, or muscle gain using your profile and activity level.

Formula

Typical flow: estimate BMR, then TDEE = BMR * activity multiplier

Example

If BMR is 1600 and activity factor is 1.55, estimated maintenance is 2480 kcal/day.

When to Use

  • Setting nutrition targets
  • Weight loss planning
  • Weight maintenance checks

Best Practices

  • Start with estimate, then adjust by weekly results
  • Track at least 2-3 weeks before changing target
  • Prioritize protein and sleep for better outcomes

FAQ

Why does actual progress differ from estimate?

Metabolism, tracking error, and activity variability cause differences. Use estimates as a baseline.

How much deficit is safe?

Moderate deficits are usually more sustainable than aggressive cuts.
