Daily calorie needs calculator

Daily Calorie Needs Calculator

Daily calorie need is the energy target aligned with weight loss, maintenance, or gain. This tool uses age, sex, height, weight, and activity to personalize calories.

DiyetisyenPRO uses Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, applies activity for TDEE, and adjusts for your selected goal.

Why Daily Calories Matter

Too many calories tend to increase weight; too few can underfuel you and slow metabolism over time. Combining activity level and goal supports a more sustainable plan.

What the DiyetisyenPRO Tool Provides

• Goal-based calories: Loss, maintenance, or gain targets.
• BMR and TDEE: Basal and maintenance energy shown separately.
• BMI context: Index and category from height and weight.
• Macro split: Suggested protein, carbohydrate, and fat grams and calories.
• Water estimate: Daily fluid from body weight.
• Weekly weight change: Rough weekly change for loss or gain goals.

Goal Options

• Weight loss: About 500 kcal below TDEE — often ~0.5 kg per week.
• Maintenance: TDEE to hold current weight.
• Weight gain: About 500 kcal above TDEE for controlled gain.

Using Your Numbers

Calories and macros are a general frame. Muscle mass, hormones, chronic conditions, and medications can shift true needs.
