Tool Introduction

This calculator estimates how many calories you need per day using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — one of the most accurate methods for adults. It is optimized for women but also supports male estimates. Results include maintenance calories plus common targets for healthy weight loss (−500 kcal/day) and gradual weight gain (+500 kcal/day). Always consult a healthcare provider before major diet changes.
