USING THIS TOOL
How Calorie Needs Estimator helps
Enter age, height, weight, the equation option and an activity estimate to see an approximate range.
Method and assumptions
Uses the Mifflin–St Jeor formula with common activity multipliers. It is an estimate, not a measured prescription.
Example
Changes in daily activity can shift maintenance needs substantially, even for people with the same height and weight.
Know the limits
Check your inputs and verify important financial, health, legal, educational or property decisions using the relevant professional or official source. Results depend on stated assumptions.
