Result: Estimated Daily Calories: [fieldname6] (TDEE).
– Maintenance: [fieldname6] calories/day.
– Weight Loss: [fieldname6 – 500] calories/day.
– Weight Gain: [fieldname6 + 500] calories/day.
The calorie calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), then adjusts for activity level to give your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). BMR is the calories your body needs at rest, while TDEE includes daily activity. For example, a sedentary 42-year-old male might need 2,200–2,400 calories, while an active person could need 2,600–3,000. Factors like age, gender, height, and weight influence results. Reduce TDEE by 500 calories for weight loss or add 500 for gain. Explore our BMI Calculator for more health tools!
