About the Daily Calorie Calculator

Uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your basal metabolic rate, then applies your activity level to find maintenance calories and a target for losing, maintaining or gaining weight.

Tips for best results

  • Results are estimates; real needs vary from person to person.
  • Aim for gradual change rather than extreme cuts.
  • Track for two weeks and adjust to how your body responds.
