Understanding Your Calorie Needs
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the calories your body needs at complete rest. When combined with your activity level, we calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) – the actual calories you burn each day.
Weight Management Guidelines
- Weight Loss: Consume 15-20% fewer calories than your maintenance level
- Extreme Weight Loss: 25-30% calorie reduction (consult a doctor first)
- Weight Gain: Add 15-20% more calories than maintenance
Why Our Calorie Calculator Stands Out
Unlike basic calculators, our tool offers:
- Multiple BMR formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor, Harris-Benedict, Katch-McArdle)
- Adjustable activity levels from sedentary to extremely active
- Body fat percentage input for more accurate results
- Built-in food energy converter between calories and kilojoules
