How to Use
Enter your age, select your gender, enter your weight in kilograms, height in centimeters, and choose your activity level from the dropdown menu. Then click on the “Calculate” button to get your daily calorie needs.
How It Calculates
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your daily caloric needs:
- For men:
(10 * weight) + (6.25 * height) - (5 * age) + 5 - For women:
(10 * weight) + (6.25 * height) - (5 * age) - 161
The result is multiplied by the activity level factor that you selected to give you your total daily calorie needs.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on population averages. Individual calorie needs may vary depending on factors not accounted for in this calculation, such as muscle mass, metabolic rate, and medical conditions. Always consult with a healthcare provider or nutritionist for personalized advice.
