Health Calculators/Calorie Calculator

Calorie Calculator

Work out how many calories you need each day to maintain, lose or gain weight.

Calorie Calculator

Using your calorie target

How it works

We estimate your resting burn with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, scale it by your activity level and adjust it for your goal.

Calorie goals

  • Maintain: eat around your daily need
  • Lose weight: about 500 kcal below it, roughly 0.5 kg (1 lb) a week
  • Gain weight: about 300–500 kcal above it
  • Targets never go below 1,200 kcal (women) or 1,500 kcal (men)

Making it stick

  • Log what you eat for a couple of weeks to learn your portions
  • Weigh yourself weekly and follow the trend, not single days
  • Adjust by 100–200 kcal if progress stalls for 3–4 weeks
  • Keep protein up to protect muscle while you lose weight

Good to know

This is an estimate. Your real needs show up in your weight trend, so treat the number as a starting point.
