🔥 Calorie Calculator
Find your daily calorie needs (TDEE) using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula.
How This Is Calculated
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, widely regarded as one of the most accurate BMR formulas: for men, BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age + 5. For women, BMR = 10×weight(kg) + 6.25×height(cm) − 5×age − 161. TDEE multiplies BMR by an activity factor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR is the calories your body burns at complete rest. TDEE adds your activity level on top — it's the
total calories you burn in a day.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A common approach is a moderate deficit of 500 calories/day below TDEE, roughly 1 lb (0.45 kg) of weight
loss per week. Large deficits are not generally recommended without medical supervision.
