Your numbers. Your starting point.

Estimate daily energy and explore a macro split that suits your routine.

For generally healthy adults 20+. Activity factors and macro splits are planning assumptions. Individual needs vary.

01 / ENERGY

Calories are an estimate, not a verdict.

Your body uses energy at rest and as you move. A calculator brings those pieces together; your actual needs can differ.

Read the basics

We use Mifflin–St Jeor: 10 × weight in kg + 6.25 × height in cm − 5 × age, then add 5 for the male coefficient or subtract 161 for the female coefficient. Multiplying resting energy by an activity factor produces the daily estimate.

Activity factors are broad assumptions. The optional 10% adjustment and macro ratios are planning examples, not a treatment plan. Avoid treating a single number as an exact daily requirement.

Protein and carbohydrate use 4 kcal per gram; fat uses 9. Gram values are rounded, so their energy total can differ slightly.

02 / PERSPECTIVE

Put BMI in the bigger picture.

BMI relates weight to height. It is one screening measure, alongside your history, body composition and other health information.

Read the basics

BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. For adults 20 and older, reference categories are below 18.5, 18.5 to below 25, 25 to below 30, and 30 or above.

These categories do not diagnose disease or measure muscle and fat separately. The weight interval shown simply reverses the BMI formula for 18.5–24.9. It is not a personalized target.

The optional waist-to-height ratio divides waist by height in the same unit. We display the ratio without diagnosing visceral fat or assigning a risk category.

03 / HYDRATION

Your water comes from food, too.

Drinks are only part of total water intake. Meals contribute water, and your routine changes what a useful plan looks like.

Read the basics

EFSA lists total-water adequate intakes of 2.0 liters for adult females and 2.5 liters for adult males under moderate conditions. These references include water in food and all beverages.

Our planner subtracts the food contribution you choose, then adds any extra drinks you enter. The default 20% food assumption is editable. Extra drinks are your input, not a calculated exercise requirement.

Heat, activity, pregnancy, breastfeeding and health conditions can change needs. Follow your clinician's guidance if you have been told to limit fluids.

Good questions

Before you get started.

How accurate is a calorie calculator?

It estimates energy needs from a population equation and a broad activity factor. It cannot measure your metabolism or know your medical history. Use the result as context, and discuss personal nutrition changes with a qualified professional when appropriate.

Why do my smoothie numbers differ from a label?

Our ingredient table uses approximate values for the portions shown. A different brand, scoop or fruit size changes the result. Package labels and weighed portions are better for precise tracking. We do not infer glycemic load from carbohydrate grams alone.

Are my measurements saved or sent anywhere?

Calculator inputs are processed in your browser. Only results you explicitly save and your theme preference are stored on this device. The site also uses Google AdSense, whose advertising services have separate data practices explained in our Privacy Policy.

Does the fasting planner predict ketosis or weight loss?

No. It adds the selected number of hours to your last-meal time and labels the next day when needed. It cannot predict metabolic changes or decide whether fasting is appropriate for you.

Can I use these tools with a medical condition?

These are general educational tools for adults, not personalized care. Get individual advice for pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication-related needs, kidney or heart conditions, fluid restrictions, eating disorders, or recovery from surgery. Children and teens need age-appropriate assessment.
