Calorie Calculator

Popular

Calculate TDEE, daily calories, BMR, and macro split (protein, carbs, fat) for weight loss, maintenance, or gain.

This all-in-one nutrition calculator computes your BMR, TDEE (maintenance calories), goal-adjusted daily target, and full macro split — protein, carbohydrates, and fat — with an interactive pie chart. No need to jump between separate TDEE, calorie, and macro tools.

Uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation multiplied by your activity level. Choose lose weight (−20%), maintain, or build muscle (+15%) and get instant gram targets for each macronutrient.

High engagement health content: users return monthly to adjust calories as weight changes. Pair results with our dedicated macro calculator for fine-tuning protein intake for strength training or endurance sports.

Typical output for a 70 kg, moderately active adult: BMR around 1,600 kcal, TDEE near 2,500 kcal, with roughly 140 g protein, 250 g carbs, and 70 g fat at maintenance. Your numbers shift with age, sex, height, and activity — enter yours for a personalized plan.

TDEE, daily calories, and macro split in one tool.

Formula

BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor): men = 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age + 5 · women = 10×kg + 6.25×cm − 5×age − 161 · TDEE = BMR × activity factor

Common Uses

  • Set daily calories and macros for a cut or bulk phase
  • Visualize macro ratio with the built-in chart
  • Find maintenance TDEE before adjusting intake
  • Meal prep and IIFYM planning
  • Starting point for nutrition coaching clients
  • Compare sedentary vs. active calorie needs
  • Adjust targets after every 5–10 lb weight change

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Track your food intake for a week to see how your actual calories compare to your TDEE.
  • Increasing activity level is often easier than drastically cutting calories.
  • Protein-rich foods help maintain muscle mass during weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDEE?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the total number of calories your body burns in a day, including your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and physical activity.
What is BMR?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body needs at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation.
How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
A deficit of 500 calories per day leads to approximately 1 pound of weight loss per week. Aim for no less than 1,200 calories/day for women and 1,500 for men.
Which formula does this calculator use?
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate formula for estimating BMR for most people.
