Key Features of Our Calorie Calculator

Precision Calculations

Our tool uses the Harris-Benedict equation, considered the gold standard in metabolic rate calculations:

Men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight) + (4.799 × height) - (5.677 × age)
Women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight) + (3.098 × height) - (4.330 × age)

Activity Level Adjustment

Five distinct activity multipliers ensure accurate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) estimation:

  • Sedentary: 1.2
  • Light Activity: 1.375
  • Moderate Activity: 1.55
  • Very Active: 1.725
  • Extreme Activity: 1.9
