Introduction

The calorie calculator estimates Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) from Mifflin–St Jeor BMR and activity level. It then suggests calorie targets for maintaining, losing, or gaining weight, plus a balanced macronutrient split for maintenance calories.

Benefits

  • Goal-based calorie targets
  • Protein, carb, and fat suggestions

Educational wellness tool only — not medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for personal decisions.
