Calorie Calculator — The Complete Guide
Wondering how many calories you need daily? Our free calorie calculator computes your daily calorie needs based on age, gender, weight, height, and activity level.
BMR Calculator — Your Base Metabolism
Our BMR calculator determines your Basal Metabolic Rate — the calories your body burns at complete rest. BMR accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily energy expenditure.
TDEE Calculator — Total Daily Energy
The TDEE calculator multiplies your BMR by an activity factor. This gives you the actual calories you burn daily including exercise and activities — the most accurate number for diet planning.
Calories for Weight Loss
To calculate calories for weight loss, create a deficit by eating 500-1000 calories below your TDEE. This results in 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week — a safe, sustainable rate.
Tips for Accurate Calorie Tracking
- Recalculate your needs every 10-15 pounds of weight change
- Be honest about your activity level
- Track food intake for a week to understand consumption
- Adjust based on real-world results after 2-3 weeks
