Daily Calorie & Macro Calculator (TDEE)

Calculate your optimal daily calorie intake and macronutrient split (Protein, Fats, Carbs) based on your fitness goals, activity level, and body metrics.

How It Works

1. Enter Body Metrics Input your gender, age, weight (in kg), and height (in cm). These are used to calculate your baseline energy needs (BMR).

2. Select Activity Level Choose the option that best describes your weekly routine, ranging from “Sedentary” (desk job) to “Extra Active” (physically demanding job or daily intense training). This multiplier converts BMR to TDEE.

3. Define Goal Select your objective:

  • Maintain: Keeps your weight stable.
  • Weight Loss: Subtracts ~500 calories/day (recommended for safe, sustainable fat loss).
  • Weight Gain: Adds ~500 calories/day (recommended for muscle building).

4. View Results Click “Calculate.” The tool displays your target daily calorie number and provides a suggested breakdown of macros (grams of protein, fats, and carbs) to help you structure your meals.

Inputs

Dropdowns for Gender, Activity Level, and Goal; Number inputs for Age, Weight (kg), and Height (cm).

Output

Displays the target Daily Calorie number (e.g., 2,200) and a grid showing the estimated grams for Protein, Fats, and Carbs based on a balanced diet ratio.

Tool Description

The Daily Calorie Calculator determines your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) to help you manage your weight effectively. It uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation—considered the gold standard for accuracy—to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on age, gender, weight, and height. It then adjusts for your activity level and specific goal, whether you want to lose fat (Deficit), maintain weight, or build muscle (Surplus). The tool goes a step further by breaking down your calorie limit into a balanced macronutrient profile, showing you exactly how many grams of Protein, Fats, and Carbohydrates you should aim for each day.
