How daily calorie needs are estimated

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — the calories your body burns at complete rest:

Men: BMR = 10·weight + 6.25·height − 5·age + 5
Women: BMR = 10·weight + 6.25·height − 5·age − 161

Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is BMR multiplied by an activity factor. To lose weight, eat below your TDEE; to gain, eat above it. These are estimates — individual needs vary.
