Enter your details to see an estimate.

This is a general estimate. Individual calorie needs vary, and the result should not be treated as medical advice.

How the estimate works

The calculator estimates resting energy needs with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, multiplies that estimate by an activity factor, then shows a modest 300–500 calorie reduction as an example target.

For adults with health conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, eating-disorder concerns, or other special circumstances, discuss calorie goals with a qualified healthcare professional.
