Daily Calorie Intake Calculator

Determining your daily caloric requirements is essential for reaching sustainable health, fat loss, or muscle gain targets. Our free Daily Calorie Calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor formula to compute your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE).

Understanding Caloric Metrics

• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The baseline number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain vital life functions.
• Maintenance Calories (TDEE): Total calories required daily to maintain your existing weight based on physical activity.
• Caloric Deficit: Consuming fewer calories than your maintenance baseline to promote target weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How big should my caloric deficit be for fat loss?

A moderate daily deficit of 500 calories typically leads to a safe, sustainable weight loss rate of approximately 0.5 kg (1 lb) per week.

Is BMR the same for men and women?

No, metabolic rates differ based on body composition and muscle ratio, which is why gender parameters are included in scientific BMR formulas.
