Estimate your daily calorie needs from your basic measurements and activity level.
These figures are general estimates for adults, not individualized medical or nutrition advice. Actual energy needs can vary.
The EKO24 Calorie Calculator provides a general estimate of daily calorie needs for adults from age, sex, height, weight and activity level. The calculation runs directly in your browser.
The calculator first estimates basal metabolic rate using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, then applies the activity level you select to estimate daily energy expenditure.
Basal metabolic rate is an estimate of the energy your body uses at rest for essential functions. Daily energy needs are usually higher because normal movement and physical activity require additional energy.
Calorie formulas provide population-based estimates and individual needs can differ. Health conditions, pregnancy, medications, training and other factors can affect energy requirements. For individualized nutrition guidance, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare or nutrition professional.
