Understanding Your Calorie Needs

What is a Calorie?

A calorie is a unit of energy. In nutrition, calories refer to the energy people get from the food and drink they consume, and the energy they use in physical activity. Understanding calories is fundamental to managing your diet and weight.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Your BMR is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic, life-sustaining functions. This accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily calorie expenditure. Our calculator, provided by Calculator Site, uses the respected Harris-Benedict formula to estimate this.

Activity Level Matters

Beyond your BMR, the calories you burn through physical activity play a huge role. From a desk job to intense daily training, your activity level significantly impacts your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), which is what this calculator estimates.
