This tool helps you calculate your daily caloric needs and macronutrient ratios on a carnivore diet.
How to Use the Carnivore Diet Calculator
Enter your age and weight in kilograms. Select your activity level and your goal from the dropdown menus. Click ‘Calculate’ to get your recommended daily calorie intake for the carnivore diet.
How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Harris-Benedict formula to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and multiplies it by your activity level to get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This value is then adjusted based on your goal (weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain) to provide a recommended calorie intake.
Limitations
Keep in mind that this calculator provides estimates. Individual variations can be significant based on many factors not accounted for in these calculations. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new diet program.
