Calorie Calculator

Daily calorie intake is the amount of energy your body needs to maintain current weight. It depends on many factors: age, gender, weight, height, physical activity level and metabolism.

The Mifflin-St Jeor or Harris-Benedict formula is used for calculation, which takes all these parameters into account. The result is then multiplied by an activity coefficient (from 1.2 for a sedentary lifestyle to 1.9 for very active).

For weight loss, create a deficit of 500-1000 kcal per day, for weight gain - a surplus of 300-500 kcal. Remember that sudden changes in calories can negatively affect metabolism, so changes should be gradual.
