About Calorie Calculation

This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation, which is considered one of the most accurate formulas for calculating BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).

Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to maintain basic functions at rest. Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is your BMR multiplied by an activity factor.

Note: These calculations are estimates. Individual calorie needs may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Consult a healthcare provider or dietitian for personalised advice.
