Daily Calorie Needs Calculator

Calculate how many calories you need daily based on your goal: lose, maintain, or gain weight.

About This Tool

This calculator estimates daily calorie needs for different weight goals. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and multiplies by an activity factor to get TDEE. A deficit of ~500 calories per day typically results in losing about 0.5 kg (1 lb) per week.
