Calorie Calculator for weight loss

How do you calculate calorie intake to maintain your diet for weight loss or gain? Our calorie calculator will help you estimate the number of calories you are burning each day.

Insert your present weight, age, height, and gender into calorie calculator to correctly estimate the daily calorie number above. Make the best guess of how much activity you are going to do.

In order to retain or reduce weight, the results will indicate how much calories you can take. Based on the workout pace, which is factored into the equation, you should not need to change this.

The value of maintenance is the same as what we call Total Daily Energy Consumption (TDEC).

After you lose weight you would need to re-calculate calories you need, based on current weight.

That means it is a continuous process to calculate calories more precisely when you’re gaining or losing weight.

This calorie calculator is based on multiple calculations and is based on an approximate average of the calculator performance.

One of the first calculations used to measure basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is the sum of energy consumed at rest every day, was the Harris-Benedict Equation.

It was revised to be more descriptive in 1984 and was used until the Mifflin-St Jeor equation was adopted in 1990. BMR is also determined by the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which has been shown to be more precise than the updated Harris-Benedict Equation.

In that it measures resting daily energy consumption (RDEE), which takes lean body mass into consideration, the Katch-McArdle Formula is somewhat different, something that neither the Mifflin-St Jeor nor the Harris-Benedict Equation does.

The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation is considered the most reliable BMR estimation equation among all equations, except that the Katch-McArdle Formula can be more accurate for people who are leaner and know their percentage of body fat.

Below are the three equations that are used by the calculator:
