About This Tool
What is Calorie Calculator?
A tool for calculating daily recommended calories and macronutrient ratios (protein, carbs, fat) based on TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure). Useful for weight management, dieting, and muscle building meal planning.
How to Use
- Enter your gender, age, height, and weight.
- Select your activity level (sedentary to very active).
- Click 'Calculate'.
- View your BMR, TDEE, and macronutrient ratios.
Key Features
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculation
- TDEE calculation
- Macronutrient ratios (protein, carbs, fat)
- 5-level activity factor
Tips
- For weight loss, eat 300-500 kcal below your TDEE.
- For muscle gain, eat 200-300 kcal above your TDEE.
- Consuming 1.6-2.2g protein per kg of body weight is effective for muscle maintenance and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?โผ
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest โ just to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) includes BMR plus calories burned through daily activities and exercise. TDEE is always higher than BMR and is the number you should use for meal planning.
Which formula is used for BMR calculation?โผ
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which is considered the most accurate for most people. For men: BMR = 10 ร weight(kg) + 6.25 ร height(cm) - 5 ร age - 5. For women: BMR = 10 ร weight(kg) + 6.25 ร height(cm) - 5 ร age - 161.
How accurate are the macronutrient recommendations?โผ
The macronutrient ratios provided are general guidelines based on standard nutritional recommendations (approximately 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat). Individual needs vary based on specific goals (weight loss, muscle gain, endurance sports), health conditions, and dietary preferences. For personalized nutrition plans, consult a registered dietitian.
