This daily calorie calculator estimates your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and your total daily energy expenditure based on sex, age, height, weight, and activity level. It gives you an idea of how many calories you might need to maintain your current weight.
Use it as a starting point for planning weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain goals. Real needs vary by individual, so treat the result as an estimate and adjust based on your actual progress and guidance from a dietitian or doctor.
Enter your information in the fields above, run the calculation, and review the result to understand what it means for your situation.
Look at the output in the context of your overall goals rather than in isolation. Consider how sensitive the result is to changes in your inputs (for example, adjusting the amount, rate, or time) to understand which factors matter most.
This tool is a simplified model and does not capture every nuance of real life. Treat it as a planning aid, not a guarantee. For important financial or health decisions, combine these results with professional advice and more detailed analysis.
