How It Works
The Calorie Calculator uses the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions such as breathing and digestion. Your BMR is then multiplied by an activity factor that corresponds to your level of physical activity to give an estimation of your daily caloric needs.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate only. Individual caloric needs may vary based on various factors such as muscle mass, health conditions, and metabolism. Consult a healthcare provider for personal dietary advice.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Daily Caloric Intake
Calculate the number of calories you need to consume daily based on your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. Determine whether you need to maintain, lose, or gain weight by accurately measuring your daily caloric needs.
Track Calorie Consumption
Keep track of the number of calories you consume throughout the day by inputting your meals and snacks. Monitor your caloric intake to ensure you stay within your daily limits and achieve your health goals.
Check Calorie Burn for Exercises
Discover how many calories you burn during various exercises and physical activities. Input your workout details to find out the exact number of calories you’re burning to tailor your fitness routine accordingly.

Plan Balanced Meals
Create well-balanced meal plans by knowing the exact number of calories you should consume per meal. Use the calculator to distribute your daily caloric intake evenly across breakfast, lunch, and dinner for optimal nutrition.
Calculate Macronutrient Ratios
Determine the ideal ratio of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) based on your caloric needs and dietary preferences. Customize your diet plan by adjusting the percentages of each macronutrient to suit your health and fitness goals.
Estimate Weight Gain Calories
Calculate the additional calories you need to consume to support muscle growth and weight gain. Input your target weight and desired timeline to determine the surplus calories required to meet your bulking goals.
Analyze Nutritional Information
Get a detailed breakdown of the nutritional content of your meals, including calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Make informed food choices by understanding the impact of different foods on your overall daily caloric intake and nutrient balance.
Calculate Basal Metabolic Rate
Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – the number of calories your body needs to function at rest. Use this information as a baseline to calculate your total daily energy expenditure and make adjustments to your diet and exercise routine.
