Calorie Calculator

Estimate adult resting energy, maintenance calories, and gentle goal ranges by activity level.

Equation coefficient
Estimated maintenance2,120kcal/day

Typical starting range: 1,910–2,340 kcal/day

Resting energy1,370Estimated BMR
Gentle loss1,820≈ 300 kcal/day below maintenance
Maintain2,120Track and calibrate
Gentle gain2,420≈ 300 kcal/day above maintenance

Use the estimate safely

  1. Use maintenance as a two-week starting point.
  2. Track body weight under similar conditions.
  3. Adjust gradually using the observed trend.
  4. Prioritize a sustainable eating pattern and activity.

Adult estimate only, not medical advice. Not for pregnancy, breastfeeding, people under 18, or clinical nutrition needs. Predictive equations can differ from measured energy expenditure; consult a qualified clinician when needed.
