How the Calorie Calculator Works

The calculator first computes your BMR using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then multiplies it by an activity factor to get TDEE. BMR is the calories needed at rest, while TDEE accounts for daily activity. This helps in planning diets for weight loss, maintenance, or gain.
