The calculator uses scientific formulas like the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and adjusts it based on your activity level to estimate your total daily calorie needs.

Understanding your calorie needs helps you manage your weight, support energy levels, and maintain overall health by ensuring you consume the right amount of food for your goals.

The number of calories you need depends on factors like your age, gender, weight, height, and activity level. On average, adult women need 1,800–2,400 calories per day, while men require 2,200–3,000 calories.

Yes! By calculating a calorie deficit—eating fewer calories than you burn—the calculator can guide you toward gradual and sustainable weight loss.

Yes! The calculator can also help you create a calorie surplus by recommending how many extra calories you need to consume daily to gain weight in a healthy manner.

Yes! Your activity level significantly impacts how many calories you burn daily. More physical activity increases your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), requiring more calories to maintain energy balance.

The calculator provides estimates based on standard formulas but may not account for individual factors like muscle mass, metabolism variations, or medical conditions. Use it as a guideline rather than an exact measure.

Consuming too few calories can lead to fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, slowed metabolism, and other health issues. It’s important to eat enough to meet your body’s basic energy needs.

Yes! Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue at rest, meaning individuals with higher muscle mass typically require more calories to maintain their weight.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women have higher calorie needs to support their health and their baby’s development. Consult with a healthcare provider for tailored recommendations.
