Calorie and macro calculator

Basal metabolic rate, total daily expenditure, calorie target and the split into protein, fat and carbohydrate. Everything is computed in your browser: no data is sent anywhere.

Your details

Biological sex

The Mifflin-St Jeor formula uses this variable; choose the one that matches your physiology.

Height (ft / in)
Activity level

When in doubt, pick the level below: overestimating is the most common mistake.

Goal
Advanced settings (protein, fat, target weight)

Reference points: 1.6 to 2.2 g/kg of protein in a deficit with resistance training; never go under 0.6 g/kg of fat for any length of time.

At this pace, about 0.77 lb per week.

To go from 150 lb to 137 lb, allow roughly 18 weeks, with plateaus along the way.

Every predictive formula carries a 10 to 15% margin of error per individual. Apply these figures for two weeks, watch how your weekly average moves, then adjust by 150 to 200 kcal if needed.
