Calorie Calculator — Overview

A Calorie Calculator estimates the number of calories your body needs each day to maintain, lose, or gain weight. It is also known as a TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculator.

How is it calculated?

It first calculates your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using your age, gender, height, and weight. Then, it multiplies this BMR by an activity factor (from sedentary to extra active) to determine your daily maintenance calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. While a calorie is a unit of energy, the source matters. 100 calories from a vegetable provides vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while 100 calories from sugar provides little nutritional value. For overall health, focus on the quality of your calories, not just the quantity.

Protein is more satiating than carbs or fat, meaning it keeps you feeling full for longer, which can help reduce overall calorie intake. It also has a higher thermic effect (your body burns more calories digesting it) and is essential for preserving muscle mass during weight loss.
