About Calorie Calculator
Calorie Calculator combines daily calorie planning with a small food energy converter. The calculator estimates resting calories with Mifflin-St Jeor, Revised Harris-Benedict, or Katch-McArdle, then applies an activity factor to suggest daily calorie targets for maintenance, weight loss, and weight gain.
How To Use It
Choose Calculator to estimate daily calorie targets or Converter to switch between joules and calories.
- Choose the measurement system, gender, age, height, weight, and activity level for the daily calorie estimate.
- Open More options if you want to change the BMR formula or add body fat for Katch-McArdle.
- Switch to Converter when you only need to translate a food energy value between joules and calories.
