Calorie Calculator
This calorie calculator estimates your daily calorie needs, including Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Enter your personal details and activity level to get tailored results for weight management.
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.
Steps to Use
