How Calorie Calculation Works
This calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, widely considered the most accurate formula for estimating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
Formulas:
- Men: BMR = 10 x weight(kg) + 6.25 x height(cm) - 5 x age + 5
- Women: BMR = 10 x weight(kg) + 6.25 x height(cm) - 5 x age - 161
Your BMR is multiplied by an activity factor to get your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), then adjusted based on your goal.
