HOW IT WORKS

Use the calorie calculator in seconds

The estimate uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then applies an activity multiplier to approximate daily energy needs. It also shows a modest calorie-reduction target as a general reference. Health conditions and personal needs vary, so use the result as a starting point rather than medical advice.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Calorie Calculator: an example

Changing only the activity setting changes the estimated daily energy requirement while leaving the basal estimate unchanged.
